'I wish this book had been available twenty years ago when I first took up sea kayaking. It would have helped me avoid having to learn many things the hard way' - from the foreword by Christopher Cunningham, editor, "Sea Kayaker Simple, Practical, Ingenious". Doug Alderson has been paddling for years, and in "Sea Kayaker's Savvy Paddler" he shares his hard-earned wisdom. These 538 tips on everything from gear and clothing to navigation and campcraft have been tried, tested, and refined by seasoned paddlers. You're guaranteed to find in these pages revelations that will have you wondering, "Why didn't I think of that?".

Doug Alderson (North Saanich, British Columbia) is a year-round sea kayaking instructor, certified by the British Canoe Union and the Canadian Recreation Canoe Association. He has been a regular contributor to Sea Kayaker magazine for many years.
