Squirt Boating and Beyond: How to Rip in Anything That Squirts

Welcome to Squirt Boating and Beyond, the latest revelation about the future of whitewater boating. More and more paddlers are discovering the joy of squirt boating, a sport that allows boaters to go where no one has gone before in the river environment. Accomplished squirters can ender/backender in flatwater, cartwheel end-over-end down the hardest rapids, or use eddy lines for tunnels into currents deep below the river's surface. Squirt Boating and Beyond is an illustrated technical manual for learning the art of squirt kayaking. Veteran paddler Jim Snyder, an early pioneer of Squirtech and one of a handful of world-class master squirtists, joins his writing talents with cartoonist and squirt theoretician, William Nealy, to create the definitive squirt kayaking bible. Snyder uses a progressive and natural style to take the reader on a step-by-step Squirtsport tour, from the early history of squirt to today's most advanced maneuvers. Nealy helps explain the more difficult concepts with his unique four-dimensional diagrams of the steps critical to learning each move. (6 x 9, 256 pages, b&w photos, diagrams)
