Sea Kayaker's Savvy Paddler offers more than 200 concise, easily digestible tips for any paddler that will make their sea kayaking easier, safer and more enjoyable. These tips, which will appeal to beginners as well as experts, are inventive yet head-smackingly simple: for example, convert an old CD into a signal mirror, or use a drinking straw to suck the air from your bread bag to add days of freshness. Succinct tips are complemented by longer discussions on such things as packing a kayak for a multiday trip, and lists covering essential touring items, choosing the best paddling partner or boat, and recipes for quick meals on the water or in camp.

A very practical guide, this book is written for the technically-minded person who enjoys learning and seeks a full understanding of kayak and paddle design as well as safe paddling. It offers great detail and a thorough set of rules, recommendations, suggestions, and tips covering all aspects recreational kayaking, including: The details of recreational kayak and paddle design. Choosing the kayak, paddle, PFD, clothing, and other gear. Rules all recreational kayakers must live by on lakes and rivers. Kayak paddling basics. Handling river dynamics and obstacles. Myriad recommendations for day-trip paddling on recreational water -- such as rivers through Class II, sheltered bays and lakes, flatwater, and close to shore on very calm, exposed water. Responsibilities for the leaders and each member of a river trip. Shuttling vehicles, people, and equipment before and after a trip. Carrying, transporting, maintaining, and storing your kayak. An extensive glossary of common kayaking and paddling terms. Intended for those paddling single-person recreational kayaks during day trips on recreational water, this book is for those new to kayaking as well as very helpful to experienced paddlers and therefore recommended for all recreational kayakers. Note that this book is not a step-by-step, how-to-kayak manual -- it is not intended to be. Nor does it come filled with glossy photographs. There are other books out there that do those things quite well. But this book does provide a good deal of instructional detail, complementing and supplementing other guides, filling in much additional detail and providing further very practical tips and recommendations. This book also incorporates some of the basic skills and knowledge from whitewater and sea kayaking as it applies to recreational kayaking. I believe you will find this book very helpful as it offers the essentials to protect yourself and those with you against the most common issues, providing solid, reliable recommendations, making your whole kayaking experience much safer and more enjoyable. You'll become quite the savvy paddler!

In Sea Kayaking, , comprehensive guide for those who travel the open waters in the Southern Hemisphere, Philip Woodhouse, Australian paddler and Royal Australian Air Force veteran, shares his years of experience, technical training, and military teaching skills. What began as a personal reference was soon developed as a training manual, recommended by the Victorian Sea Kayak Club to its membersand East Coast Kayaking to their patrons and Australian Canoeing students. Sea Kayaking covers boat design, kit requirements, paddling skills, health and well-being, meteorology, the ocean environment, navigation, communications, conservation andminimal-impact camping, conservation, seamanship, electrical bilge pumps, solar panels, light sources, boat repairs, leadership, risk management, basic safety and survival strategies , as well as a brief overview about the history and various types of canoeing.. There is also a comprehensive glossary to assist the reader in understanding the terms and concepts discussed in the main text. Woodhouses work differs from most manuals about sea kayaking in that it is written from the perspective of someone who paddles the Southern Hemisphere. As such, the major differences between the two hemispheresweather patterns, navigation, laws, and terminologyare discussed, as well as compared to their Northern Hemisphere counterparts. In the end, paddling skills are paddling skills, hypothermia is hypothermia, and twenty-five-knot winds are twenty-five-knot winds. A three-metre tidal range can still produce a long haul across mud flats when the tide is outand landing through two-metre surf is still scary (though a lot of fun), no matter where you paddle.
