The Complete Inflatable Kayaker

The Complete Inflatable Kayaker

Jeff Bennett

Here is the complete how-to manual for the fastest-growing segment of paddlesports. Like The Complete Snowboarder (the inaugural title in the ``Complete'' series), this book progresses from absolute basics through advanced techniques, from gear and stroke technique to steep drops and river camping. It will appeal both to first-time and veteran river runners. Inflatable kayaks are to hard-shelled whitewater kayaks what mountain bikes are to road cycle. They give access to thrills that might otherwise take years to gain. Inexpensive and user friendly, it's no wonder these boats are taking the paddling market by storm. They pack as simply as a large suitcase and can be carried into remote streams. They are equally at home on meandering rivers, Class V canyons, or crashing surf.
