Cumbrae Trip Day 3 – Great Cumbrae Kayak Race Report
Day 3 of our trip to Great Cumbrae started with sunny spells and a stiff breeze. Not ideal conditions for the Great Cumbrae Kayak Race as far as I was concerned, but not too rough that I wouldn’t be able to give it a go either. I was up early so went out for a...
Great Cumbrae Trip Day 2 – Onto Great Cumbrae
Our second full day of our trip started in Glentrool with absolutely pouring rain. The plan was to mountain bike early though before the others were awake so I got up, put on some waterproofs and headed out into the pre-dawn light. It was certainly wet and the weight of the rain had dropped bracken,...
Morning Paddle to Aberdovey
What a gorgeous day yesterday. I couldn’t resist getting out early for a paddle on my surf ski. I started on the seafront across from our house. The conditions were perfect with the early morning sun warming things up and a super calm sea. Just a small swell running. I headed north to Aberdovey and meandered...
Adventures in North Wales
Surf Skiing in Conwy I arranged to meet some fellow surf-skiers in Conwy on Saturday. I thought I could make a weekend of it. Surf Ski somewhere a little different for a change, do some mountain biking and then sleepover in the camper and continue my Coast Path run project on the Sunday. The Facebook...
Surf Skiing in the Sunshine
It looks as though my plan to get out as often as possible in as wide a range of conditions as possible on my surf ski has worked. Monday was a gorgeous day for some surf skiiing in the sunshine. The sea was a little choppy with a small swell but I felt quite at...
Mawddach Marathon and Mawddach Paddle Sports Festival
We had intended to spend the weekend in Barmouth for the Mawddach Paddle Sports Festival but as Saturday was wet and windy we decided just to head up on Sunday for the Mawddach Marathon. The Mawddach Marathon is a 20km kayak race up the Mawddach estuary and back. It starts at Barmouth, heads upstream with...
Improving my Surf Skiing Skills
I think I’ve been improving my surf skiing skills this year. I’ve been trying to get in out every opportunity, even if only for a short paddle. I think that lots of short sessions a week are better than just one long session for a number of reasons. It means I’m more likely to get...
Surf Ski Modifications
I think I’m gradually getting better on my new Knysna BLU Surf Ski. It’s certainly a lot easier to man-handle onto the roof-rack or to carry across to the beach. I have made a few surf ski modifications to it though. Before we get onto the surf ski modifications, how am I getting on in the...
Surf Ski Practice
I’ve managed to get out and do a little more surf ski practice. My last post about my new surf ski said “Just how many ways can we fall off a surf ski? More ways than there are to stay on one it would seem.” Well, just to balance that out, here’s a short video...
