Kayak: The New Frontier

Laugh and learn kayaking skills, from basic to advanced, through detailed text and more than 400 humorous illustrations!

If you want to learn how to paddle—and laugh out loud while doing so—William Nealy’s classic illustrated kayaking-skills manual remains dead-on hilarious. Kayak demonstrates important paddling techniques through humorous illustrations, along with detailed explanations from the renowned kayaker.

This book is perfect for beginners and more experienced paddlers, from hardcore hippy hairboaters who used to catch air in their block-long Dancers to insane youngsters clattering tiny plastic boats down steep creeks with more rocks than water. You’ll get to know everything from kayak and rapids anatomy to paddling techniques to river rescue methods.

Inside you’ll find

• Over 400 illustrations that break down even the most complex kayaking skills
• Carefully crafted information to reflect the latest in paddling technology
• How-to descriptions that make even difficult whitewater techniques understandable

William Nealy is back and more useful and entertaining than ever. You may break a rib laughing, but with him holding your hand, you’ll be less likely to break a bone while boofing an insane rapid or even an entire waterfall!
