Playboating: Kayaking With Eric Jackson (Jackson, Eric, Kayaking With Eric Jackson.)

I bought this book after buying EJs Strokes book (also recommended) and was expecting a book which covered how to get fit to paddle and strengthen injury prone muscle groups. The first thing that struck me was the similarity to the playboaters handbook, however after reading the whole book I can say that it is different enough for me to recommend this over Ken Whiting's book.

The first section covers the attitude you need to learn moves and win rodeos. I had never seen this anywhere else and anyone who is serious about their boating will find this section helpful.

The middle section includes all the modern moves. EJ goes through his usual Body, Boat and paddle breakdown which helps a lot. The photos are spectacular (although missing on some of the harder moves).

The final section was the section I bought the book for and was discouraged to find that it was only a couple of pages long. However it still managed to contain everything I was looking for.

To sumarise, buy this book over any other playboating book out there but try and get a look if you already own something like the Playboating Handbook.Buy Playboating: Kayaking With Eric Jackson (Jackson, Eric, Kayaking With Eric Jackson.)!
