Hello,

I am recently new to kayaking, but have many hours in canoes on
Florida rivers and Everglades Wilderness Waterway. I just bought a
Perception Eclipse 14.5 and had to order it. Should be here around the
10th of this month.

I have been searching the Internet for paddeling technique tips
showing how to roll and other paddeling strokes. Are there any URL's
geared towards beginners
on paddeling there new kayak?

I am mostly going to tour with it. But would like to try it out in a
surf zone or two.

Carl

Thanks Brian and Wade,

I appreciate the advice Brian. I will search around for a local club.
Also my sales person who sold me my Perception did mention that one
free lesson came along with it. So I will check into that. Next time I
see her I will also ask about local clubs. Point well taken about not
playing in the surf zones, thanks.
Wade, Thanks for the URL.

Between Kayaking and flying Sailplanes, my weekends are pretty busy
:-)
