In an intriguing mix of memoir, philosophy, and psychology, a veteran guide shares what he learned from decades rafting the world's most challenging rivers. By blending the art of running rapids with the practice of Tai Chi, he found techniques for rowing whitewater with grace while remaining calm amidst chaos.
River runners need instinct and skill to meet the demands of split-second timing and adrenaline-pumping fear. This book offers lessons for the novice that take years to learn. The journeyman rower will find a new perspective for running rapids and the old master will recognize skills honed over the years.
Shore-bound readers will experience the thrill of a wild and exotic sport.
- How do you read water?
- Prepare to perform?
- Find the zone?
- Row with grace?
- Harness fear?
These are questions for which every river runner must eventually find an answer, but this book's philosophy applies to anyone seeking to push boundaries and live life at full capacity.
