I was just able to watch this DVD and was very impressed. Firstly, I wanted to comment on the production which is really a step forward in this genre of film. The editing is slick and clean. The audio is concice and well mastered.But what's important here is what the film covers. From a complete beginner, to someone with limited experience looking to improve the paddling experience, increase safety and basically have more fun, this video touches on all the little bits of information that are necessary, but that could take a lifetime to learn on ones own. If you're even just a weekend worrior, and paddle 2 or three times a year, this video is well worth watching for its wealth of information.
