X BTW thanks for the comment that there were books on downhill river racing - hadn't realised that and will seek them out. Peter, One good text is Canoe Racing the competitors guide to marathon and downriver canoe racing, by Peter Heed and Dick Mansfield (ISBN 0-941950-37-9). Although the focus of this book is canoeing, the sections on training, reading a river (following the best line), wake riding, shallow water techniques and race tactics are very informative and applicable for kayakers too. I have been racing/race training frequently this year and found the information very helpful. Unfortunately nothing is written about tidal waters but much of the river reading information applies.
