About the Author
Since Ken Whiting began kayaking at the age of 14, his paddling has taken him to all corners of North America as well as throughout Europe, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Honduras and Guatemala. Through these travels he managed a number of first descents, and has been the featured paddler in a number of videos ranging from 'Kayaks and Coconuts' (a Central American paddling adventure), to 'Walls of Freedom' and 'Breathe' (extreme skiing and kayaking films). In 1994 Ken began frequenting, and winning whitewater rodeos. His ultimate success took place in the fall of 1997 when he became the World Whitewater Rodeo Kayaking Champion.
Review
Just wanted to comment on your new book, The Playboater's Handbook. As a writer, myself, (Television Writer & Producer, 20yrs) you are to be congratulated for a very comprehensible, well thought out, and diagramed book. So consider this a pat on the back from a fellow writer. Your book is succinct and very clear. In three words: Very well written. The photos are plentiful and very illustrative of the proper set-ups and techniques necessary to make the freestyle moves work. Your book has definitely lead me to more "fun time" on the river... After digesting your book, I went out to the river and pulled off my first cartwheel, and within a week, was linking moves I hadn't even dreamed about trying before. In fact, this past week, at our local playhole, it was really cool to have some of the hotshot, young boaters comment on my "hot moves." Not bad for a 52-year-old. -- Anonymous Review
Ken gets all his variety and style points with The Playboater's Handbook. You must get a copy. -- Jamie Simon, 1995 Women's World Rodeo Champion
