Surf kayaking friends trip Sun 18th May
The plan is to go surf kayaking on Bude Crooklets Beach this Sunday, meeting in Rosie's Kitchen car park at 10:15. This is a friends trip for people with at least some experience on the sea/white water without necessarily having been in the surf before. I'm still a beginner, but can offer some pointers if this is your first time. Take a look at the photos on the forum/Facebook from the last trip if this is new to you and you want to see what it's about. The surf should be beginner friendly at 2 ft, 10 s intervals and gentle breeze.
I'll be using a white water paddle and a Dagger Axiom short boat. I suggest you also pick something with a flat bottom and sharp edges e.g. a GTX or perhaps RPM and ensure it has blown up airbags. Helmets and gear to get wet in are a must.
I'll be going straight there and probably picking up a boat from the club on Friday. I might be able to pick up a boat for one other person, but you'll have to transport yourselves to the beach and back and I'd recommend lift sharing if possible.
Please post if you're planning to come.

I would like to put myself down again as a highly probable - but may need to confirm on Saturday. I would probably only do a couple of hours and would leave after lunch. Sorry, Dave - I would be travelling from Okehampton
I am now a definite! See you there
Another thoroughly enjoyable day! I only took photos for a few minutes, but here are a couple... (I would thoroughly recommend joining surf trips as it gives you a chance to practice those brace strokes that you learn on the canal in the real world - and swimming doesn't matter!)
