Todate the best kayak instructional DVD I have purchased and I have viewed many. With regard to the English version, all points are very well explained and supported with excellent videography. After viewing the DVD, I was later fortunate enough to actually spend 4-days one-on-one with Francesco Salvato. The DVD actually motivated me to contact Francesco to organise time with him AND I travelled from Australia for that purpose.

The HIPS DVD is definitely money well spent, if not an investment in developing your personal level of skill.

Highly recommended
