PADDLES UP!!! Excellent intro to the sport...

If you haven't jumped into a dragon boat yet and paddled, this is a great intro to the sport and history of the greatest team sport for people of all ages and ANY skill level!! The stroke instructions and illustrations are very well put together for the most novice paddler. The history and current status of the sport is also well composed for those who would like to know what the rave is all about! I have certainly enjoyed all the graphics and photos. For those that i have referred this book to--new and experience paddlers as well as sport enthusiasts--have all agreed with its comprehensive introduction to the sport that has been growing and growing in the USA. Paddles up!!
