The Other Half of the Rive

Dear friends,
We are happy to announce the publication of "L'ALTRA META' DEL FIUME" (The Other Half of the River). Curatored by Laura Mandolesi & Daniela Cerasari, The Other Half of the River is the work of twelve Italian women, (known as the "Pink Paddles") who have compiled an anthology of their experiences, feelings, contemplations and a few comic adventures on the water.

From first swims to first descents, the book explores the love and passion, fear and elation of women kayaking whitewaters. Their search for new and more exciting rivers leads them to discover their deepest emotions. They challenge their notion of friendship, explore their strengths, overcome their fears and confront their personal boundaries via the challenges of whitewater kayaking.

The "Pink Paddles" wrote this engaging anthology to entice more women to discover their potential by confronting their perceived limitiations on the water. Kayaking is a sport for everybody … not just for men.

Part of the proceeds earned by the book will be donated to Charities:
