Deep Trouble : Woody's Kayak Trip Reports

I'm like a duck: calm above the water, and paddling like hell underneath - Fred Shero

January 1, 2001

Deep Trouble

Some folks highly recommend 'Deep Trouble' as a book to inform beginners how things can go so wrong. I found it hard to read and a bit dry at times, but others have said I was nuts and that it is an excellent book. I'll at least agree the premise is good, but this is my book list. If you have no idea just how dangerous kayaking can be, even on something as benign as a calm lake, give this book a try.
