Most kayakers paddle a boat with a rigid hull. Yet a distinct group of enthusiasts paddle "foldables", portable kayaks that can be assembled and disassembled in minutes, packed in a backpack and carried by plane, train or car just about anywhere. Foldable kayaks are more seaworthy, more durable, more versatile, easier to maintain, and more stable than hardshell kayaks. This new edition of "Complete Folding Kayaker" is both updated and enhanced. The best source of information on portable kayaks available.
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
