This book is intended to be instructional, inspirational and of interest to both novice and expert alike. The assumption is made that to even begin to playboat the paddler will already be an intermdiate white water boater familiar with basic strokes and boating skills. For the interested non paddler a glossary of terms is included. Part One gives an overview of the sport and lays the foundations of understanding on which the rest of the book builds, as well as exploring safety issues and exploring key concepts. Part Two describes and coaches the moves which are divided into intermediate and advanced standard. Part Three looks at how to train in order to hone your physical and mental skills and be 'the best you can be'. Never before has so much freestyle, rodeo and playboating information from so many great boaters been gathered together in one place. In a world dominated by the biggest, the fastest, the loudest...the most big headed, this book makes a stand. Whilst of course covering all the latest moves, the authors have not been frightened to start right back at basic concepts. Technical ability is nothing without knowledge, without planning and without stamina. This book tells you the secrets. Freestyle is a thinking person's sport. The authors, the contributors and the book's publisher have an unrivalled breadth of knowledge in this field, so let this book do some of the thinking for you. The full colour format and the emphasis on personal training and coaching make for a particularly easy read. When planning my preparation or training before a competition, I always try to evaluate its potential benefits in terms of how many places it will have helped me move up in the final results. As a general rule in life, any time spent off the water should be viewed with suspicion! However, use this time constructively and absorb the information in this book and you will reap your own rewards. The Art of Freestyle is a book genuinely written by paddlers for paddlers. It is often a hard task to get top athletes to part with their preferred training or competition techniques, but this book is full of such 'Top Tips'. This is not a book written just by its authors, but by a wealth of accomplished paddlers. It is this subtle combination that keeps the reader in the real world...believing in a move, not just imagining it. This is the real world...believe you can do it.

Top Tips for Boaters

Over 300 Top Tips and Handy Hints for Canoeists and Kayakers

By: Loel Collins,Franco Ferrero

A collection of practical tips and inspirational ideas gathered by two of the UK's most experienced expedition paddlers and coaches. After the phenomenal success of 'Top Tips for Coaches' we decided that there was a need for this book. The top tips come from our combined experiences in kayak and canoe, on salt and fresh water, around the world. Experience is often hard won, and ours was gained at home in the UK and abroad in places such as the European Alps, Scandinavia, Canada, the USA, Peru, New Guinea, Pakistan, Iran, Nepal, Costa Rica, the Seychelles and Zambia. The book is designed to be browsed and the distilled experience it contains to be thought provoking. We hope you enjoy it.
