Beachpebbles: November 2012
http://beachpebbles.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Sea Kayaking and Adventure. Thursday, November 22, 2012. I recently purchased a new tow line, and before it had even seen water,. I had torn it to pieces. In my opinion, a tow system is an essential piece of gear. I also believe that it is a very personal piece of gear (At least for me it is). I like to know my system from the inside out, and I have a pretty specific system that I like to work with. To start, I'm a fan of the waist tow lines. Alright, so I've narrowed it down to a waist tow line. The Mic...

Sea Kayaking and Adventure. Monday, April 25, 2011. Three other instructors and myself visited Long Beach on the Island this weekend to play in surf. I think we may have brought too much stuff. Oh well, it doesn't have to fit into the boats :). There will be a video to come, but enjoy some photos while I edit. Thank you Gord and Joan for playing photographers. It was my birthday the first day of the trip. The guys surprised me with this and we happily ate most of it on the drive up. I always blamed my sp...

Beachpebbles: Portland Island

Sea Kayaking and Adventure. Tuesday, June 11, 2013. I'm really quite late with this post, but as I mentioned we have been quite busy with preparations for another trip.). With the car loaded up before hand, we caught the 5pm ferry after work. Matt and I ended up giving Mark, another WCP member, a ride. A little weirded out, we landed on the beach. As it was dark and somewhat late, we decided to save time and just carry our boats straight up to the campsitte instead of unloading them. This really ...Since...

Sea Kayaking and Adventure. Sunday, July 7, 2013. I'm a kayak geek and I'm happy to admit it. So, when Paddlefest comes around every year, I get quite exited. So many boats to try and experiment with! This year happened to be on quite a windy day. It was over 15 knots, gusting up to 18. That is far from ideal for beginners to learn and try out boats, but it was great news for us. I really enjoyed paddling the 150, but the one thing that I hated were the foot pedals. They were pathetic! Next on my list wa...

Sea Kayaking and Adventure. Sunday, June 16, 2013. Carbon Fiber Skeg: A Beauty That Deserves To Be Shown Off! Ok, by now most people know that I love carbon fiber. It's gorgeous! Matt and I have both worked with carbon fiber quite a bit, and while it's beautiful, it really is a pain to work with. I stripped my old skeg blade out and I weighed it out of curiosity (The backpacker's mentality rubbing off on me! And then I weighed Norbert's skeg. 119 grams lighter. June 17, 2013 at 7:57 PM.
