orange crush

my kayak is orange and plastic and so far hasn't been crushed
and the kayaker is getting on but still able to have fun
above and below the water

every paddler has their own way of doing fun -
i like a responsive kayak, a greenland paddle,
clear moving water with lots of space,
spray backlit by a low angle sun and....
water up your sinuses
- hope you are getting some!

clefts again

when the surf is flat
a paddling option are rock clefts.
You need to be ultra-wary
as an unexpected wave's energy
can be amplified in the confines of a cleft.

A plastic (sit in) kayak and greenland paddle
are a delicious combo in these environments.

I'll wave to the fast tourers while i dawdle in the rock gardens....

my beach

not really my beach but it's my closest
