Summary: Not for beginners
Review: Some great info on a wide variety of subjects. However, it is not a "definite guide" as the back covers leads us to believe. In fact, Foster tells us in his introduction that this book assumes the reader already has a solid grasp of kayaking basics. For example, in the section Launching and Landing the second method of launching is "Rolling Under The Waves"! Not very practical for the novice. Probably a better text for the intermediate.

Summary: Too Short.
Review: The book is less than 100 pages long. The caption on the cover "Secrets from the pro" is much more accurate than the back's "definitive guide". The author definitely assumes quite a bit of experience and knowledge of kayaking. The book is more a "quick tips and tricks" for the experienced rather than a thorough guide for someone wanting to learn the subject.Might be a good book if you want to read the words of one of kayaking's royalty, but there are better books on the subject.
