The judges stand being set up in our lawn. Really interesting watching professionals surf and hearing commentary by pros. The waves weren't all that big (2 meters for the better waves) but it is late in the season for the really powerful storms. After watching this I can see why young people find surfing more exciting than sea kayaking. I find it more exciting and I don't even surf. I can't imagine a kayak (even a surf kayak) doing the stuff these fellows did. Anyone out there done a 360 on the crest of a wave and then rode the top of the curl down to the trough, surfed along parallel to the wave face climbed the wave and did another 360 in a kayak? They tell me the West Coasts surfers are better. For your consideration on the subject of surfing a kayak: _http://www.asudoit.com/kayak_fest/_ (http://www.asudoit.com/kayak_fest/) Rob G *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
