The Simple Guide to Kayak

Super excited to announce that a new book "The Simple Guide to Kayaking is now available on Amazon in Print and Kindle and Apple books for iPad.

Think of the Simple Guide as a "quick start" guide to a sport. What you need to get started, safely, and setting you up for deeper dives into knowledge further down your path.

A relatively small book, with an equally small price tag. Get out there and go paddling.

Other Simple Guides are coming.

Stay tuned.
