A Few Great DVD's to Get You Ready for the Summer

    So over the winter you may have pretty much drained the video talent at the local video shoppe. Perhaps you maybe feel a little rusty on your techniques, or if you are like me, you simply can't get enough kayaking!

    Well here are a few of Wayne's picks to stimulate you to peak performance, in your kayak that is!

    In the Surf ............ well, is about surfing and there is some great kayak surfing here!


    This instructional video is targeted at sea kayakers, whitewater kayakers, and surfers: No matter what their paddling background, we will show how to play the ocean swells in a kayak.

    Learn about the specialized boat designs, advantages and limitations. Learn about the dynamic ocean environment including wave evaluation and selection, and rudder techniques.

    Manoeuvres in the green, and in the whitewater are explained and demonstrated. Includes exclusive interview with famed American big wave surfer Richard Schmidt on surf zone etiquette.

    And the price - $49.95.

    About the price of a couple large supreme pizzas and several beers, which you will also have to buy to watch the DVD, so plan your budget accordingly.

AND ...........................

    The Kayak Roll ............ that sometime elusive technique that is such a great asset to have when you are bouncing along on your head, in the surf, upside down!

    Winner, Best Instructional Video 2002 at the National Paddling Film Festival in the US. Another Kent Ford Performance Video production well worth getting.
