—DVD’s/Videos—
Where possible, I have linked these DVD titles to the website of the company that produced them. Other sources for purchasing many of these DVD’s are www.paddling.net, www.seakayakermag.com, and www.amazon.com. I am always adding to this list as I discover new titles. Titles followed by the designation “VHS” are older titles that may not be available in DVD format, and may not be easily located. Most of these are titles that I own, so if you have any specific questions about a particular DVD or video, you can contact me by e-mail.

Recreational Kayaking
I mostly do not care for the DVD’s on recreational kayaking as I don’t feel that they are careful to make a strong enough distinction between the safety equipment and skills needed for sea kayaking and recreational kayaking, and the limitations of recreational kayaks in regards to where and how they should be used.
