Delphin Tuning

me adjusting to a new kayak.....

playing around with seat, thigh brackets and foot rest

body/brain adjusting to chines - when/where/how fast do they bite and let go

- enjoying the 'turnability' of this playboat

this video is actually from 3 surf session days at the one beach and also played around with different angled shots - hope you like

PS - if you look very carefully, the 'two low distant lumps of rock' in the opening scene in the middle distance, looking out between the real rocks, are actually a resting mum and baby humpback whale - didn't want to disturb as i had kayak surfing to do

Two Surfs Same day

Two Surfs  Same day

so so morning surf despite nice pinky sunrise
followed by a more satisfying surf 
later in the arvo
with some nice nostril clearing 
in amongst patented face grimaces
with a modicum of salt water spray
from ye old rotomolded valley back catalog

Cruising the Lake 2

Cruising the Lake 2

closest paddleable 
body of water to  home

skimmimg pass sticks
set to a soporific sunset

Sea Kayaking in Rock Clefts

Sea Kayaking in Rock Clefts

Approaching rock clefts

Inside rock clefts

Coming out of a rock cleft - timing good

Getting sucked back into a rock cleft - timing bad
