Jump into the river and start having fun with The Kayaker's Edge. This instructional video, written and produced by 1992 Olympic forerunner and announcer Kent Ford, paces you through basic and intermediate techniques of white-water kayaking. The style is informal, often humorous, but the skillful camera work catches nuances of motion and points of view you'd never see with a live instructor. Of course, no video can replace live instruction (safety first!), but watching before and between lessons can greatly improve your learning time on the river. You'll see rolling, bracing, side surfing, and ruddering, as well as basic play on easier rapids. The slow-motion and underwater shots alone are worth the price of the tape, but the added verbal instruction and footage of kayakers surfing through all levels of rapids make The Kayaker's Edge essential for the white-water enthusiast. --Rob Lightner
