Publisher Description

If you want to learn all about kayaking… if you want to start kayaking but don’t know where to start… if you want to short-cut your learning curve and look like an veteran kayaker after just a few times out on the water… then this book was written just for you.

Kayaking isn’t complicated once you know a few basics. In fact, it's way easier than "regular boating”. Some of the reasons are:

- Kayaks aren’t as expensive as boats…
- It doesn’t take a long time to learn the basic strokes and language…
- Most kayak veterans are nice people and are willing to help you get started
- You can learn at your own pace (you don’t have to do white water rapids)…even by yourself
- It’s fun!

And you don't need to know a lot of technical stuff or be in really great shape to get started…That's the big secret.

In fact, there are only a few key tricks and tactics that can make you TEN TIMES better as a kayaker once you know them.

Here's just some of what's inside this book:

- Kayak Crash Course: You’ll have the knowledge of a pro kayaker when you learn about all the different types of kayaks… their uses… different paddles… and history
- Safety first: Everything you need to know to make your kayaking adventures fun and fulfilling while keeping safe
- Your quick-start guide to white water kayaking and its different types: creeking… playboating… squirt boating… and boofing.
- Surf and ocean kayaking 101: what you need to know before tackling this exciting but challenging form of kayaking
- How to get started racing kayaks… and the different types of races and kayaks available to you
- How to choose the perfect Kayak for the type of kayaking you want to do (you’ll want this short-cut guide with you before you go looking to buy a kayak!)
- Kayaking techniques for the beginner… intermediate… and advanced kayaker
- Common Paddling Mistakes: knowing these paddling mistakes and how to avoid them will help you transform yourself into a super-skilled kayaker in half the time.
- Secrets all the pros know about how to hold your paddle which give you more power and endurance, plus keep you from accidently injuring yourself.
- Kayaker fitness: Kayaking demands a very unique type of physical fitness… these are special exercises to get you in shape quickly and easily

More of a guide to kayaks, not kayaking

I thought there would be more about "kayaking", perhaps techniques, tips, etc. Most of the book explains the different types of kayaks, their uses, and how to pick the one best for you.
Helpful to some people, sure. But I was looking for more info about actually kayaking. The sections on actually kayaking were vague, short and almost too basic.
Perhaps titling the book, "Kayaks 101: Essential Guide to Kayaks" would have been more accurate.
