2009 Kayaking Report...

by Woolven

 

Site: Goring beach, Sea Lane cafe, Goring

Weather: Approximately 10 good days of sunshine for the summer season

Tides: Good year for high tides

Kayaks: Plastic Ace Jumper (Plastic Wombat!)
Plastic Ace Slalom
Glass Fibre Gaybo Slalom Glyn,s boat (ex Arundel Factory)
Junior Glass Fibre Slalom (Lew's 2nd Hand canoe)

Comments: 1) Obviously the Glass fibre canoes are easier to eskimo roll as they are lighter
2) Most of us could still sit in the junior slalom cockpit!
3) We usally paddle all year round with our wetsuits

Achievment: 1) We surfed some small waves
2) Lew can still eskimo roll (1st time)
3) I rolled Lew's junior slalom (1st time)
4) Paul rolled the Ace Slalom (1st time)
5) Glyn did a loop tried to roll up but capsized in a Force 3 gusting 4

Injuries: I still have ongoing ligament problem on left shoulder. The shoulder was getting better but I pushed my Skoda which made it worse again.
