Customer Reviews

Great cartoon humor

A very humorous view of the incredible sport of whitewater paddling. I read this book from cover to cover and couldn't stop laughing. It is also somewhat informative and the cartoons and lyrics are very entertaining. This book makes a great gift for any whitewater enthusiast. Dancing on the Edge of an Endangered Planet

Laughted until I peed

So much of this book is actually true. Don't let the fact that is is a cartoon book fool you, this is not a book for the kids. Repeat not for kids.

Groovy Paddling Satire Sequel

You must be a paddler (or at least paddled once) to appreciate William Nealy's zany little collection of humorous sketches and creative cartoons. This collection includes unsolicited advice on paddling, epic adventures, another parody of outdoor equipment advertisements (S & M River Supplies), the "S & M Campfire Songbook" featuring the lyrics to "my Boat" (set to the music of "my Guy") and a host of other funny little penned paddling sketches and comics which, most likely, came right out of Nealy's river sketchbook.It's a groovy little book and another cool thing to pass around on camping/paddling trips to get some laughs by the campfire.
