Gone South...

On the 8th & 9th of October I will be doing my 4 star Sea Leader assessment with Sea Kayaking Cornwall so I decided to head South a few weeks early & get used to the bloody big surf down here.

Also to do some blogs as I ain't done many trips lately. I aint been sat on my arse though, I've been doing short trips for skills practice & rolling ready for my assessment.

Portreath Beach (Ready To Go)...

A Decent Swell...

Godrevy In The Distance...

At this point I put the camera away. I could see big messy swell on the other side of the Island, rather disconcerting.
Did I really have to go right around the Island? Hell Yeah!
After a tense few minutes looking over my shoulder for the next swell & also trying not to get too close to rocks I got around though I think I may have been pushing my luck?

A Good Spot For A Pee :)

 Back at Portreath, hope this don't get too messy

HMMM, looking towards the beach, a stiff offshore wind taking the tops off the waves. Amazingly I went in without catching a wave so I turned back around & played for a bit in the surf.

A Good day out...
