Sea Kayaking 223, Kayak Surfing

Great Class!

The Kayak Surfing class was a thrill that I never would have tried on my own. I really only started sea kayaking with any seriousness this summer, and the pounding surf at Pacific Beach was a bit intimidating. George started us off easy, with sit-on-tops, and by day 2 we were all surfing into shore in full-size sea kayaks. Since I didn't know when I'd get an opportunity like that again, I kept at it until I was pretty much exhausted. This was my third KA class, and I keep coming back because each class seems to boost to my skill and confidence to another level. Since the class, I've already found myself in a bit of unexpected surf out near West Point Light House in Elliott Bay, and it was nice to have the skills to understand what was happening and know how to respond.
