New Zealand Whitewater. 125 Great Kayaking Runs (2006)

New Zealand is a whitewater Kayaker's paradise, unequalled in the world for variety with its challenging wilderness runs, stunning waterfalls, gorges and multi-day adventures.

In this fourth edition Graham Charles presents 125 classic whitewater kayaking runs, from moderate float trips to full-on technical 'hair-boating'. With each run Graham provides information to get you on the river - grades, flow information, gradients, times, access details, shuttle distances - then describes what to expect, without taking away that most important element: adventure!
His river descriptions are spiced with humour, cautionary tips and tales, anecdotes and kayaking history, along with a strong message on river conservation. He also offers advice on trip planning, equipment, safety and helicopters, useful lists of helicopter operators and New Zealand kayak and canoe clubs, and a glossary of kayakspeak.

This guide, an essential addition to any kayaker's kit, will open your eyes to the impressive range of kayaking opportunities in New Zealand, wether you're into the sublime three to four day float down the Marlborough's Clarence River, or the 60 second class VI thriller down Otago's Nevis Bluff rapid

"No stone unturned, no river unpaddled... I wholeheartedly endorse this guidebook. Armed with laptop and dictaphone, Graham [has] blitzed the country in his search for accurate, useful and up-to-date information. Graham is an expert boater and he's telling it like it is!" - Mick Hopkinson.
