a) Sometimes the hardest part of whitewater kayaking is getting on the water. Paul Davidson writes, "Trying to find take-outs and put-ins in whitewater country can be difficult unless you are native to the immediate area" (16).

b) A noted authority on kayak self-rescuing claims that "There are hundreds of ways to roll a kayak" (Dutky 33).

c &d) According to Doug Ammons, the new boat design has increased the fun and made "injury ... less likely" (91).

e) Joe Napora says that kayaking is a healthy activity. He told me that "It [kayaking] gets [him] outdoors and on and in the water" (Napora).

f & g) Learing to roll a kayak can be frustraing, but you'll have less frustration if you realize some basic facts. Listen to noted authority Paul Dutky:

There are hundreds of ways to roll a kayak, but only two ways to obtain purchase on the water with your paddle: one uses a sweeping, horizontally moving blade, the other a high bracing, vertically moving blade. While most rolls are a mixture of sweep and brace, all can be described in terms of these two pure forms. (33)
