This work includes white water safety and rescue for canoeists, kayakers and rafters. This is a completely revised new 2006 2nd edition now in full colour throughout. What’s new in the 2nd Edition? This work includes: full colour and new photos throughout; the text has been completely revised and numerous small but significant improvements have been made; the principles of safety and rescue have been unified and the mneumonic C.L.A.P. adopted. This is to make it easier to remember them and fall in line with current practice in the teaching of white water safety. The rescue section has been reorganized to fit in more closely with the TRTTG ‘low to high risk’ model. The rafting sections have been completely rewritten by Geraint Rowlands. The chapter ‘Planning a Descent’ has been extended to cover factors to be considered when travelling abroad. One-handed signals as used by Paul O’Sullivan in his chapter in the BCU Canoe and Kayak Handbook have been adopted.

Jus started reading through this, kayaking is dangerous and you should learn the basics before climbing up the WW grades i think this will be a good investment.

Really easy reading. This book Is straight forward with good pictures and therefore doesn’t leave a lot to go wrong.
Certainly no replacement for a white water safety course but great pre reading or as revision afterward.
by David Farrow
This book covers all the basics and techniques that the WWSR course covers. And is well worth a read to keep the knowledge fresh in your mind

I started kayaking late in life, nudged into it as a scout leader. This book is a very useful reference for all the stuff I should have picked up over the last twenty or thirty years. If you’re looking after others on the water then I’d consider this a must read. I have a couple of other highly rated books and have watched thousands of hours of videos and read countless online blogs etc. This is still my go-to for the important stuff.
