Re: [Paddlewise] Pyramid Lake NV

Doug,
I lived in the area for a couple of years.  The unique thing about that lake
is how fast the wind comes up and can turn it from calm to extremely rough.
At times it would be a great place to practice storm paddling. Stay close to
shore and you shouldn't have any problems. BTW, If you haven't already done
so, learn to reenter your kayak on the water. Also, start learning a roll.
It's my opinion that without a roll to cool off now and then, that people
will dress for the air, instead of the water. Welcome to the sport. It's the
most enjoyable one that I can think of. If you get into the whitewater end
of it, there is a great river close to your house (the Yuba, classIII, IV or
V. take your pick, a half hour away).
Regards,
Bob
