lardi writes. “Over the years I have seen so many certified kayakers who had little ocean knowledge. Many folks came to our program just wanting to be able to roll.” After recommending Dowd’s pio- neering text, Sea Kayaking: A Manual for Long-Distance Touring as required read- ing, Filardi concludes, “I really do appre- ciate your having the courage to print Mr. Dowd’s piece. I’m sure you will hear more negative responses than positive ones but this gives your magazine more street cred, especially with us long-time paddlers.”
