Kayaking is big in the papers at the moment. Author of Welsh Sea Kayaking, Jim Krawiecki was asked by the Guardian to extol the delights of his top ten paddling locations in Europe. It comes as no surprise that a good number of his (and our) favourite sea kayaking destinations are around the UK.

Last week’s whitewater

A couple of photos from last week’s low water sunshine in Italy and good water in Switzerland. The spiral formation in the photo of the Vercasca looks on closer inspection to be someones artistic endeavour, look out for a fossil record of Dyathinkisaurus next time you paddle the river.

A S Watersports hosted a book launch in Exeter last Saturday for South West Sea Kayaking. After a mercifully short speech from Franco Ferrero of Pesda Press and a longer but far more amusing one from Mark Rainsley (the author), the book was unveiled.

Copies should be available from your local bookstore or from our website.

Congratulations to Paul Boakes, winner of our treasure hunt at the Canoexpo 2008. A copy of White Water Safety & Rescue is on it’s way to you as I write. For all those that were wondering, this is where Jim (co-author of Welsh Sea Kayaking) hid the treasure.

Canoexpo

Canoexpo 2008 (Stoneleigh Park, Coventry), Brookbank’s canoeing and kayaking show is coming to a close and exhibitors are making furtive moves to clear away their stock. We’ve had a good show here on the Pesda Press and Cordee books stand. Here’s a few photos from yesterday and today, pressing the flesh and selling the books.

Several of our authors were either exhibiting, helping with the running of the event or willing to help out, giving the visitors the benefit of their advice on matters watery and bookish.

The visitors flocked to shop for books.

Saturday night’s party proved that Mexico is the world’s most popular culture. Morag, Danny and Simon could barely contain themselves.

Franco and Richard (from Cordee) couldn’t contain their competitive side.

Sunday morning brought another chance to chinwag and get together with some of the authors.

From left to right: Peter Wood (Pesda Press), Gordon Brown (author of Sea Kayak), Jim Krawiecki (author of Welsh Sea Kayaking), Franco Ferrero (Pesda Press) and Derek Hairon (author of Sit-on-Top Kayak). Thanks to Jim Krawiecki for the photos.
