2. Factors to consider to determine the right kayak for you or your family
3. Why the kayak bottom [hull shape] is important, but often overlooked
4. "Sit-On-Top" or "Sit-In" kayak, which may be better for you
5. Shorter or Longer kayak, why length matters
6. Buying New or Used - Things you should know and how to inspect a kayak for potential problems
7. Is a Tandem kayak a good choice
8. Desirable features to look for in any recreational kayak
9. Other useful equipment/items for kayaking that you may need
Information in the pamphlet is developed and compiled based on extensive kayaking experience: design consultant to a kayak manufacturer, conducting kayak buying seminars (at REI and other locations), providing on-water paddling instruction, and owning and paddling over 60 various makes and models of recreational kayaks.
Only $7. The Guide is emailed to you as a PDF file upon payment using Zelle or US mail.
