Collections of Articles Written by Others:

• Pete's Whitewater Page:  This page's "Reads" section is outstanding.  An inspiration for the Asheville Area Boating Beta page.
• Chris Joose's Articles and Frequently Asked Questions:  A wide variety of articles written by Chris.  Subjects include paddling technique, safety, medical issues, and equipment.
• Jim Snyder's JIMISTYX:  A collection of essays on paddles and paddling disguised as a commercial web site.  The link above is to a page within the site containing an explicit list of some of Jim's works available online, but don't let this confuse you.  Check out the entire site.  Jim's work can also be found in the PS Composites Reading Room.
