Overview

Through tales of adventure and misadventure, share the experiences of an avid kayaker on his journey from eager novice to seasoned expert and professional instructor. From the swells and surf of the Pacific to the steep creeks of the Sierra Nevada, with jaunts to Amsterdam for the Kayak Polo World Championships and Ecuador for whitewater kayaking, Bryant's path crosses beautiful landscapes with exhilarating highs and near-death lows along the way. Anyone who has ever immersed themselves in a sport or wondered what it would be like to freely chase their dreams will appreciate the odyssey that comes from abandoning safe shores and launching into the unknown. A Paddler's Journey is about trial and error, failure and success, and what it takes to find enjoyment (and perhaps some enlightenment) in life.
