Easykayaker: A Guide to Laid-Back Vancouver Island Paddling |
| The authors of Easykayaker share their combined 75 years of
knowledge and local history, writing for the novice and intermediate kayaker
and for those interested in paddling Vancouver Island's incredibly beautiful
shorelines. Easykayaker will give you basic information about launch sites and enjoyable paddling routes, kayaking safety, equipment, weather, tides and currents. For the beginner, there's a section on tips and for the kayak buyer there's a section on buying new and used kayaks. There's even a section on kayak care, maintenance and repair for those that own their own boats. |

Easykayaker is also for those who want to rent kayaks, use motherships, sisterships or go on guided trips. There are sections explaining the industry norms and what to look for and expect when dealing with the commercial segment of the local kayaking industry. Although Easykayaker has focused mainly on the Gulf Islands and eastern Vancouver Island, some other popular Vancouver Island paddling locations have been included along with kayaking camping information and kayaking etiquette. Lastly, there's a section written for kayaking with kids, written by both parents and their kids. It includes perspectives from both view points (often at each end of the towline), choosing the right boat for kayaking with kids, and tips from parents and kids on how to make sure the experience is a whole lot of fun. If you kayak in Vancouver Island waters or want to, Easykayaker will be a wonderful resource, enjoyable reading and a good motivational boost to get out there and do some kayaking!
