Book Reviews of Sit-on-Top Kayaking : A Beginner's Guide
Book Review: Short and Childish
Summary: 1 Stars
There's some information within, but the format of the book is awful and it's poorly written. They chose the font so that it could take up the most space possible, a trick that isn't usually tried after failing to work in highschool. Even so, many of the chapters don't last more than a page and a half. You could compress the book into a handbook one quarter the size, and lose no readability. Also, the heading fonts are terrible and do more to obfuscate than help. The illustrations, however, are very good.It reads like a children's book ("The paddle makes the kayak move"). There are a few checklists which are equally insipid (on the kayak checklist, the first thing you must remember to bring is...you guessed it...a kayak!). I bought this book because I had some specific questions, like, Should I get a kayak with a rudder? Two sentences were devoted to rudders, neither one of which answered my question. I feel cheated and insulted that I paid money for this. I've gotten more information casually surfing the web!
Summary of Sit-on-Top Kayaking : A Beginner's Guide
In just 96 pages this new paperback introduces the beginner to their craft, its features, and the equipment needed to best enjoy the sport. It covers all the basic strokes and entry techniques. The book then goes on to discuss conditions that kayakers face while paddling: from wind and waves to oceans and fresh water.
