Sea Kayaking: Safety & Rescue

Rating:
Summary: A must read for instructors and students alike!
Review: I am a sea kayaking instructor who has had the pleasure of learning from John Lull on several occasions. John has written an excellent book full of real life experience, expert advice, clear and concise writing, great pictures, and explanations everyone can understand. For those of us who hate textbook reading, there is also a little bit of fun thrown in for good measure. It is a well written and fun read, and delivers on its promise to talk about safety and rescue.
No matter where, when, or with whom you paddle, you should add this book to your collection and read it often. It could possibly save your life!

Summary: Serious Sea Kayaker NEED this book!
Review: John Lull's new book, Sea Kayaking Safety and Rescue, should
be mandatory reading for anyone serious about the sport of SEA
KAYAKING. Not only does John showcase state of the art safety, rescue, and paddling techniques but he also instills a feeling about the proper attitude a sea paddler should have regarding safety.
While many folks think of the idealistic calm pond and the very stable vessel cruising peacefully along as the norm, anyone familiar with true sea conditions realizes the need for an understanding of this dynamic environment. John does a good job of introducing us to the sea, describing her many moods, in an easy to understand way. He makes the reader want to train properly and go to sea!
Tsunami Ranger John has truly been there, done that and shares his wealth of knowledge with us in a straightforward, easy to digest way. SKSR is now required reading for all of my paddlesport instructors, whitewater and sea alike!
