Compared with conventional rigid kayaks, foldables are more stable and forgiving, more seaworthy and more easily repaired and modified. They have proven their worth in difficult, rugged service, carrying ashore commandos, making at least two transatlantic crossings, voyaging the length of the Nile, rounding Cape Horn and touring the South Pacific. In addition they are the only seaworthy boat you can store in a corner of a small cupboard and carry to bay or lake on a bicycle, the subway or an airline. This book is a complete guide to the only seagoing boat that qualifies as hand luggage.
Ralph Diaz has been the leading authority on foldable kayaks for decades and is publisher of the bimonthly newsletter Folding Kayaker. In addition to writing the book Complete Folding Kayaker he has contributed articles to the periodicals Sea Kayaker, Canoe, and New York Sports. HOMETOWN: New York City
