I really liked this DVD. Beautiful scenery and it's divided into 4 good chapters that are easy to follow. I've been paddling awhile but the break down of strokes/technique helped me a lot. The advanced paddling portion is really cool!

Yaking Good
By StradaVerified Reviewer from Seattle on 08/11/2009
Pros:
Educational
Cons:
None
Best Uses:
Fresh Water, Salt Water
Describe Yourself:
Avid Fisher
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments:
This DVD is very informative for those getting into kayak fishing. It takes you through the pros and cons of sit on tops and sit in kayaks and goes through the equipment needs, anchors, sizing paddles, paddle leash, rod holders, etc. There are instructions for paddle strokes and self rescue. The presentation was done pretty well but could use more info on what to look for on pumps, how to use a sea anchor instead of just it's a good thing to have.

I inherited a canoe a couple of years ago and never learned the proper techniques. This book illustrates and explains basics well and as soon as things thaw out around here, I will put my new found education to good use. I plan on having my kids read this before we head out on the waters again.
