Surf kayaking friends trip Sat 3rd May

Catherine and I are going surf kayaking on Widemouth Beach this Saturday, meeting there at 10:30 by the cafe if anyone else wants to join? This is a friends trip just to play in the surf using short boats and hopefully catch a few waves. The surf is due to be pretty small (1-2 ft at 12 s), so very beginner friendly.

I'll be going straight to Widemouth and taking a boat for Catherine with me, so if you'd like to come, you'll need to transport your own boat. We'll be using white water paddles and Dagger Axiom short boats, which should work well for having sharp edges/rails and flat bottoms. I suggest to pick something similar or perhaps a GTX boat to work well on the waves. Helmets and gear to get wet in are a must.

Please post if you're planning to come. I'm no expert, but can offer a bit of theoretical advice if this would be your first time in the surf. Some experience on the sea/river is needed before trying surfing.

Coming:
Christina
Catherine
Nigel
