William Nealy
A world-famous cartoonist, William Nealy is best-known for his groundbreaking book Kayak, which combined expert paddling instruction as well as artful caricatures and parodies of the whitewater enthusiasts themselves. The quality of his work transcends its subject; this book, and the others which followed, spawned a host of imitators, and made William a cult figure in the world of outdoor sports. Born on February 4th, 1953, Nealy grew up in Birmingham, Alabama. Never comfortable in a highly structured environment, he left high school before graduating, and then attended St. Johns College, eventually graduating from Birmingham-Southern. He brought a thorough and rigorous intelligence to his interests and avocations, all of which, in his hands, became arts.

Kayak: The New Frontier, 2ed
William Nealy
Kayak illustrates important
paddling techniques through humorous illustrations and detailed
explanations from renowned paddler William Nealy. Completely updated to
reflect the latest in paddling technology, Nealy's classic manual is
dead-on hilarious.
From hardcore hippy hairboaters who used to catch
air in their block-long Dancers to insane youngsters clattering tiny
play boats down steep creeks with more rocks than water, Nealy is back
and more useful and entertaining than ever. This book is perfect for
beginners or the more experienced kayaker. You may break a rib
laughing, but with Nealy holding your hand you’ll
be less likely to break a bone while boofing an insane rapid or maybe
an entire waterfall.

Mountain Bike!
William Nealy
At first glance, you may think that Nealy isn't serious about teaching riding skills. The hand-printed pages–colored with hilarious animations–give the guide a comic-book appearance. But instead of assaulting his readers with dry chapters on technique, Nealy leads his readers on an entertaining tour of the mountain-biking world and how to survive it.
He explains how to bunny hop, how to downhill, how to ride powerfully, and how to crash with style. He also includes a "Stupid Bike Tricks" section. One trick, The Invisible Mountain Biker, explains how to jump off of your bike and let it glide, unmanned, across the path of frightened hikers. Note that Nealy advises against heaving your bike into a crowd of hikers. Existing laws prohibit it.
