Volume 3 - Directional Control: Quit fighting the effects of wind,
current and waves and learn how to make your boat go exactly where you
want, when you want. World-renowned author and instructor Nigel Foster
gives you multiple layers of techniques, blends one with another and
highlights why certain techniques work better than others depending on
the conditions. "Directional Control" will teach you the secrets of
paddling in a straight line or turning with ease regardless of wind
direction. Regardless of your skill level, this is a must have DVD which
is loaded with essential information that will help you become an
efficient and safe paddler.
Volume 4 - Rescues: Aside from the obvious benefits, confidence based on sound principles and practice aids your ability to rescue yourself and others. Mastering rescues will improve your safety margin and extend your ability to enjoy the sport. "Rescues" by world-renowned author and instructor Nigel Foster offers both mental and technical solutions. Learn how to empty a kayak at sea, how to re-enter your own kayak from the water and how to take charge of a rescue until the swimmer is safely back in their boat. A range of different techniques is covered with expert guidance as to how to decide which method is best for each situation.
I like the emphasis on kayaking as a positive experience. After taking the classes, you realize that you can have a very fun time, even before mastering the roll. Other classes I've taken make the roll seem like a necessity, and learning to roll (or not), becomes the focus, which eclipses the fun of kayaking.
I am impressed with organization and professionalism of Kelly's operation. The teaching methods are good and are reassuring to the extent they convey that the ability to kayak is within the reach for just about anybody (including not-so-young people like me!)
