4.0 out of 5 stars How to pull moves and show off to people, 23 Oct 2002

By A Customer

This is probably the best guide to freestyle paddling out there at the moment. The book takes you from very elementary stuff like surfing in control and builds up to the newest hardest moves. The book is broken down into three main sections, flatwater, waves and holes, and each section advances through the moves in a logical progression.
Ken doesn't seem afraid to hand over the descriptions to other top paddlers who have invented some of the latest move, e.g. Handing the getting air section to Corran Addison (of Riot) however this does lead to some descriptions feeling less full than others, such as Steve Fisher on the Helix (ripped straight from his website). However anyone contemplating these moves probably doesn't need too much in the way of guidelines.
Overall I loved the clear colour photos which are used in sequence to show all the stages of the moves. For the improving playboater (such as myself) this guide was an excellent read and hopefully will lead to less time being spent upside down on a cold river and more time having fun. If I have a criticism is that the descriptions and photos show perfect waves and holes from some of the best locations in the world, that are rarely (if ever) found in the UK. It can be hard to relate the book to the usual small features found on your average UK river.
