It’s a nice day with almost no wind and we decided to go for a paddle on the sea. Great idea ! The first thing you have to master is the “Kayak Launch” so that you can get out there and enjoy the fun times.
There’s all sorts of tips and tricks on internet media but a picture tells a thousand words (apparently) so here’s a few photos from Ian, Philip, Charles and Mike to show you how it’s done.
First make sure there are no small waves coming.
Remember a support stroke might be needed to stabilise your kayak.
Don’t worry if water splashes over you, it’s a wet sport.
When approaching a small wave lean forward to keep the kayak on an even keel.
Hope you have a nice day.

PADDLING SOUTH 
For some reason Ian, I’m finding your lessons in launching very funny and deeply disturbing in every way !

I think we are all deeply disturbed paddlers !!!. Maybe we should do an instructional series. Get out there and have some fun.

Thanks for visiting. I’m glad you like our photos and slightly warped sense of humour. Our state has just been placed in COVID lockdown so we need all the fun we can muster. We have been mainly MTB riding away from cities lately and there are photos etc using the bike riding tag in the blog menu. STAY SAFE.

Yeah, the COVID has put a real hit on our activities as well. Still love seeing the ability of others to beat this by enjoying what they can.
