120 Great Kayaking Runs. Illustrated and Glossary included.
New Zealand is a whitewater kayaker's paradise, unequalled in the world for its great variety of challenging wilderness runs, stunning waterfalls, gorges and multi-day adventures.
In this fully revised and expanded second edition, Graham Charles presents 120 classic New Zealand whitewater kayaking runs, from moderate float trips to full-on technical 'hair-boating.' With each run, information is provided to get you on the river, including grades, flow information, gradients, times, access details, and shuttle distances, while also describing what to expect, without taking away that most important element: adventure.
His river descriptions are spiced with humour, cautionary tips and tales, anecdotes and kayaking history, along with a stron message on river conservation.
In addition, he offers advice on trip planning, equipment, safety and helicopters, useful lists of helicopter operators and New Zealand kayak and canoe clubs, and a glossary of kayakspeak.
