Description
125 Great Kayaking Runs
New Zealand is a whitewater kayaker's paradise, unequalled in the world for its great variety of challenging wilderness runs, stunning waterfalls, gorges and multiday adventures.
In this fully revised and expanded fourth edition of New Zealand Whitewater Graham Charles presents 125 classic New Zealand whitewater kayaking runs, from moderate float trips to full-on technical ‘hair-boating'. With each run, information is provided to get you on the river, including grades, flow information, gradients, times, access details, and shuttle distances, while also describing what to expect, without taking away that most important element: adventure! His river descriptions are spiced with humour, cautionary tips and tales, anecdotes and kayaking history, along with a strong message on river conservation. In addition he offers advice on trip planning, equipment, safety and helicopters, useful lists of helicopter operators and New Zealand kayak and canoe clubs, and a glossary of kayakspeak. New Zealand Whitewater is an essential part of any kayaker's kit and will open a door to the extraordinary range of kayaking opportunities offered in New Zealand.
No stone unturned, no river unpaddled, I wholeheartedly endorse this guidebook. Graham is an expert boater and he's telling it like it is!
