Are you a novice paddler? Three years ago I couldn’t tell a creeker from a rodeo boat. It’s tough being a whitewater kayaking newbie—take advantage of my quest for mastery (and save yourself some painful and dangerous dunkings!)….
I’m still no pro kayaker, heck, I only ran my first river three years ago in a beat-up Aire IK. But I’m telling you, it was a wild and wooly trip down the Owyhee River in eastern Oregon—blowing through a few tricky rapids as a novice was oh, so sweet! I was instantly hooked on kayaking and I’m betting you are too. You’ve got to admit there’s nothing more relaxing (and challenging) than running a river—those moments of sheer terror, the sense of accomplishment, the occasional swim (oh, yeah, I get seriously wet!). How about the feeling of rolling with a good crew of friends, or those serene moments when you 're just kicked-back, drifting along and taking in the deep beauty of nature?
Now you can benefit from those efforts! I've put all the information and tips I discovered into Kayaking Basics and Beyond, an ebook that I guarantee will jump-start your kayaking skills and help you be a safer, more confident kayaker.
