Excerpts from a review by Paddler Magazine

Oct. 1999 "I took the book home and read it cover to cover within a week. I suspect other canoeists will do the same...This book is the most entertaining and informative whitewater canoe technique book I've read in years. It may be the best ever....It is written with a large amount of boater venacular and hilarious anecdotes; it's also illustrated with more than 600 photographs and graphics...Buy this book and increase your ability not only to paddle, but also to philosophize about it at the put-in".

259 pgs. cartoons, illustrations and photographs throughout

I'll admit that I have absolutely no intention of ever kayaking. I'm a canoeist. But when the leading authority on kayaking, Ken Whiting, contacted me to illustrate his book I knew it would be a great learning opportunity. The greatest praise I can give this book is that when my printed copy arrived in the mail, I read it cover to cover... and there isn't even a picture of a canoe in the entire book. Paul Mason
