Part I of Kayaking explains the background knowledge, fitness fundamentals, equipment and gear selection, nutritional needs, and safety and survival skills for a successful adventure. Part II helps build basic techniques, strokes, and maneuvers so you can embark on adventures of increasing difficulty. You'll find tips and instruction for the three most popular types of kayaking: sea, river, and whitewater.

    Very good overview for someone who knows nothing about kayaking

    If you're thinking about kayaking, and don't know the difference between whitewater and sea kayaking, this book is an excellent introduction. That's also where it stops. You'll read it once, get the basics, then probably put it away. For it's purpose, this is excellent. It could help you sort out what you want to do. After that, you'll need either a class, experience, or a more detailed book.
