5.0 out of 5 stars A long awaited and comprehensive update., 8 April 2002

By A Customer

Franco Ferrero and the team of contributers have done the business here. The Handbook is now in line with current theory and practice in all forms of paddlesports. The book is very readable, well illustrated with colour pics and diagrams and will definitely appeal to beginners and experts alike. Often thought of as a coaching manual, the revised handbook is now clearly aimed at all types of paddler; recreational, instructional and coach. The individual contributers are all experts and many very well known in their chosen field of expertise. I would heartily reccomend this text to any paddler looking for answers, advice and information. If it is not contained in the book, each chapter has a list of further reading, websites and video references.

An excellent investment.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book, Well Written, 5 Jan 2003

By	Phillip RITCHIE (MEOPHAM, KENT United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

An ideal way to start the kayaking or canoeing life. I thought having a kayak would be a nice 'thing' to have for the odd occasion but now I've read the book I know how far I can go in the sport, no matter what direction I choose.

I think this is really for the new to the sport but as its so well written by so many writters it carries the reader along. Its not going to be an old favorite and used by the reader in a few years so it may get a bit dusty. For the new person its fantastic, glad I bought it.
