Very Helpful
As a beginner thinking about getting into this sport I was impressed with the depth of actionable information offered by this team. Knowing nothing, I could get tips from experts in a simple viewing of the dvd, Nice. Sat down with my favorite beverage and got educated. I’ll hit the water better prepared, safer and ready to go! Worth the money.

A very good overview
don’t get me wrong, this is a very good video, but why 4 (more like a 4.5) instead of 5 stars? One word – details. While the author shows a lot of techniques/general overview, he tends to be somewhat vague in the details (and actually skips some discussions all together), maybe because he is an exerpt kayaker and certain aspects of kayaking just seem intuitive to him by now. Not that this is a big problem, but you need to treat this video more as a starting point than as a “comprehensive” instructional video. Still this is a very good/well put together video very suitable for beginner/novice/intermediate

sea Kayaking is a very good video for everyone
Sea Kayaking shows lots of scenery and introduces techniques necessary to pursue kayaking beyond the casual use of very basic kayaks. As you advance from the $250 chainstore kayaks to Transitional or Touring kayaks this is the video to watch. It is not a whitewater kayaking video it is a sea kayaking video. This video would apply very well to our Great Lakes and rivers and large lake touring as well. I have watched it 4 times already and it has helped me to pick my next set of equipment.

This is well done
The video that comes with this is especially instructive and comprehensive. It makes alot of things simple that are needlessly complicated in other book presentations

Top rate content and production
This is far and away the best sea kayaking instructional video I’ve ever seen. Besides the basics, it tracks a myriad of little details that others bypass. My wife and I have spent a lot of time with novice paddlers who would have been way ahead of the game if they had seen this first. Does it beat personal instruction and hands-on practice? Of course not, but it would sure make it easier for an instructor to get you to an intermediate level.

Good and to the point!
Years ago, I used to occasionally sea kayak and wanted to refresh my skills and learn new things before I start kayaking again. This video was very helpful and tought me a few new things, such as improving angling my body when turning. Would recommend this video to friends!

great product
Great all around video for those looking for the basics up through more advanced skills. Filming and locations are really cool and the teaching host is much better than a couple other videos I’ve seen.
