Olli Grau has created a book worthy to find a space in any kayakers bookshelf. All the information one needs to start kayaking, choosing equipment, technique, all the way up to the advanced stuff. River features are explained and diagrams aid the process where needed. It is loaded with full colour photographs, all of which are of a world class standard. The techniques and boats used are all modern and so is the layout of the book, very eye catching. This will be one you may find yourself looking at again and again - one of my favourite books on white water. I especially like the sequenced photos which you will see a lot in this book.
