Product Description

Product Description

Gordon Brown is a BCU Level 5 sea coach based on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. He shares his knowledge with you in his own succinct humorous style and very visual approach. In this book, Gordon covers topics of kayaking history, physiology, boat and paddle dynamics, seamanship and navigation, safety and rescue, weather forecasting, caves, rockhopping and tidal races, expeditions and overnighting, as well as a wealth of tips and resources for the sea paddler. Over seventy photographs and illustrations help to make this an essential modern manual for the sea kayaker.


About the Author

Expeditioning and coaching at home and abroad have given Gordon the background needed for writing this book. Thirty years experience of sea kayaking and coaching, with forays into white water and surf coaching are shared with the reader. From his early days on the West Coast of Scotland in a home-built wood and canvas kayak to Greenland, New Zealand, Tasmania, Sri Lanka, Norway, Iceland, Canada, USA, as well as every home nation and all the outlying islands, he has always pushed the limit of his knowledge and skill. He also spent three months coaching on the rivers of Nepal. As well as owning and running Skyak Adventures on the Isle of Skye, Gordon trains and assesses to the highest level within the BCU and is currently involved with the development of the new awards scheme. He is a BCU Level 5 coach (sea and inland) and Scotland's only ACA Advanced open water instructor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read, 2 Jun 2009
Sea Kayak: A Manual for Intermediate and Advanced Sea Kayakers
I'm new to Sea Kayaking and wanted to buy only one book on the subject. After buying another book, which was "as much use as a chocolate fire guard" I decided on this one. I was worried because it said for intermediate to advance level paddlers, but the book is great for anyone who had been in a kayak before and understands the basics.

If you need a general sea kayaking book, then look no further. Excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring, 29 Sep 2008
By Mike Forsyth (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the book that drove me to go on the Skyak course he runs and I had a fantastic time in Skye. It is both an enjoyable read as well as a constant reread as skills develop from beginner and above. Well written by someone who knows so much about the sport (he teaches instructors) and yet capable of encouraging beginners.

Gordon Brown is one of the most experienced and qualified sea-kayaking coaches anywhere, yet he is also immensely modest. This is a man who spends over 300 (yes, three hundred! Read more
