I'm a male who bought this book to help introduce a girlfriend to seakayaking. Without a doubt it's the best all around introduction to the sport I've read. Great advice on finding a boat and basic technique. I recomend it for either men or women who are interested in getting started.

I'm a man, and I can say without reservation that Shelley Johnson's book is "not for women only"! I started kayaking a few months ago, and got a whole slew of kayak books along with my boat. Shelley's book has done probably the best job of answering my questions, correcting my mistakes, easing my fears, and increasing my skills.

I've just completed a Women's Kayaking Workshop which Shelley taught. She's a great instructor as well as a wonderful person. I learned so much from her and she motivated me to do and learn more. Her book is fabulous and wonderfully written, which is no surprise!
