The author, Dari Y. Fisher has created this manual in consultation with Dr. Imre Kemecsey (Master Kayak Coach and Olympic Silver Medallist); regarding coaching structure and technique for elite and emerging Flatwater and Surfski kayak athletes. Initially, the author thought about writing a book on the subject of kayaking in general, however, after much consideration, he remembered a quote he once heard: "A book about everything is a book about nothing." He is not in total agreement with this statement, nevertheless, it was determined that it would be far more beneficial to write in a precise manner regarding a small number of focused topics, as opposed to writing vaguely concerning a multitude of topics. In terms of what has been published, it has for the most part been another person saying the same thing in a slightly different way. It is barely beneficial to hear about "rotation", or "using your large muscles in your back" for the umpteenth time There is so much more to this sport than superficial and quite obvious biomechanical tips. Critical analysis alone cannot do this great sport justice, and will not assist our athletes to "step forward" to the next level ...

The definitive guide to kayaking and canoeing. Why walk when you can paddle? Kayaking and canoeing are officially the world's most popular watersports precisely because it doesn't take much time, money or training to get started, and there is no other watercraft as versatile. The kayak or canoe can take you anywhere – pottering down a river, exploring a lake or adventuring out to sea. This book is where you begin. A complete guide to absolutely everything you need to know about kayaking and canoeing, The Kayak and Canoe Bible contains step-by-step instructions to essential techniques to help beginners get going in no time. It covers equipment, explaining the different types of kayaks and canoes (including the pros and cons of the inflatable variety), what to wear, and what to eat and drink, along with safety advice to help build confidence. It also has plenty to offer kayakers and canoeists who already have experience, especially those now looking to invest in their own craft and who need advice on what to look for (plus how to store and transport, maintain and repair their kayak or canoe), and those who want their craft to take them on a more demanding and exhilarating adventure. It covers white water canoeing and sea kayaking, as well as racing and other competitive challenges. The book will help any kayaker or canoeist, novice or experienced, find the best places to paddle, whether that's flat water (such as canals and some rivers) to open water (including larger lakes) or white water rapids, as well as delving into sea kayaking. It includes recommendations for specific circular routes, multi-day trips and kayak/canoe safaris, as well as suggestions regarding kayak clubs and going further afield. Rachel Schofield is the fastest woman to kayak 1,000m. Her highly illustrated book, packed with helpful and inspiring photos and diagrams, makes kayaking and canoeing accessible to everyone, and shows just how far it can take you.

In December 1965, in a smoke-filled hotel room in Morocco, South African journalist Terry Bell accepted a challenge: to paddle a kayak from London to Tangier. At the time, Terry and his wife Barbara were living as political exiles in London. By August 1967, they agreed it was time to get back to Africa. But they decided to up the ante. Their plan: paddle 11 000 kilometres from England to Dar es Salaam in a 5-metre glass fibre kayak.
