It's a Basic Essentials, 74-page, $7.95 paperback with lots of color photos. The author is Dennis Stuhaug "former editor with Canoe & Kayak magazine and the author of Kayaking Made Easy....He lives and paddles in the Seattle area." >From the photos it appears as if the book was sponsored in some way by Ocean Kayak. Apart from being of personal interest, I ordered it so I can lend it to newbie friends. Good sections on PFDs and paddles. I just reached the "Basic Paddling Strokes" section and it covers bracing...something I need to learn more about. sandy kramer miami *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
