It goes without saying that the year 2001 will not be remembered as one of the best years on record for whitewater boating in Northern California. In fact, according to Bill Center at Camp Lotus, 2001 is the lowest water year since 1977. Other authorities on the subject seem to generally agree. Yet in the midst of all of this yawning and rock scraping, another new guidebook to paddling in this great state has arrived with very little fanfare. The new guidebook is titled Paddling Northern California, and it was written by long-time paddler, Charlie Pike. Charlie's new guidebook uses a fresh new approach to paddling and combines knowledge from several different disciplines of paddling, including sea kayaking, and describes paddling on both flatwater lakes and whitewater rivers, in both canoes and kayaks. The book was also written with an audience of novice and intermediate paddlers in mind. There is probably no better guidebook for the beginning paddler in Northern California. And while Charlie's new guidebook is not the most comprehensive book on the subject of whitewater runs in Northern California, it is quite informative, has a well-organized layout, and is extremely easy to read. In short, it is a joy to read and use this book as a reference. In fact, one of the most outstanding qualities of his book is the use of combined paddling disciplines. In his new guidebook, Charlie takes the reader on a paddling tour of Northern California, and shows you the joys of each discipline. I personally consider myself to be an advanced paddler in my own realm, but it seems that the more you know, the more there is to learn.
