Great DVD!! Good editing, Good Narration, thorough descriptions of techniques, talented paddlers. I have learned more from this one DVD than the entire Nigel Foster's Sea Kayaking 5 volume series DVD's. If you kayak this DVD will help. Is this DVD put out by Dagger kayaks?


4 out of 5 stars Good overview, but not much more to offer    August 3, 2004

This video is only useful as an additional instruction aid for absolute beginners to Kayaking. If you take a beginning strokes and safety course, which you should, then you'll already learn most of the information on this video. The video has so much material to cover, that it skims over each topic fairly quickly. Most all of the skills on the video are better taught by an instructor in person.

The video covers efficient and relaxed stroke techniques, wet exits, self and assisted rescues, cold-water safety, eskimo rolls, tides and currents, chart reading and navigation, and signaling for help.

This would be a useful video to own for those who are interested in the sport, but have only rented a few times, or for those who want to expose others to trying the sport.

A minor complaint of mine is that the video seems to have been filmed quite a while ago, complete with mullets and 80's-style haircuts and clothing. The self rescues section assumes that you don't have deck bungies to the rear of the cockpit, which most all kayaks come equipped with now.
