sier!
Are you a novice paddler? Three years ago I couldn?t tell a creeker from a rodeo boat. It?s tough being a whitewater kayaking newbie?take advantage of my quest for mastery (and save yourself some painful and dangerous dunkings!)?.
I?m still no pro kayaker, heck, I only ran my first river three years ago in a beat-up Aire IK. But I?m telling you, it was a wild and wooly trip down the Owyhee River in eastern Oregon?blowing through a few tricky rapids as a novice was oh, so sweet! I was instantly hooked on kayaking and I?m betting you are too. You?ve got to admit there?s nothing more relaxing (and challenging) than running a river?those moments of sheer terror, the sense of accomplishment, the occasional swim (oh, yeah, I get seriously wet!). How about the feeling of rolling with a good crew of friends, or those serene moments when you 're just kicked-back, drifting along and taking in the deep beauty of nature?
If you?re like me when I first started, I was really confused, frustrated and more than a little intimidated by the whole kayaking scene. But I was hungry to learn everything I could about kayaking, so I read and researched and bent the ear of every good-to-great kayaker who would listen.

Now you can benefit from those efforts! I've put all the information and tips I discovered into Kayaking Basics and Beyond, an ebook that I guarantee will jump-start your kayaking skills and help you be a safer, more confident kayaker.
