A group of us got together for a sunny weekend in October and paddled out to Longships from Sennen Cove then round to Porthgwarra. Longships is the lighthouse that sits off Lands End, UK which is the Southwestern most point of England. Cracking 2 days including a night paddle and a trip further up the coast into Boscastle.

Hi from baltic Germany

I am Björn from Germany and I often paddle on the Baltic Sea togehter with my friends. When we go “paddle surfing” I will take my Quest.

But see for yourself:

Anticipation was building as we pulled into Grand Marais Michigan for the Great Lakes Sea Kayak Symposium. The wind had been blowing out of the north all day and conditions looked good for picking up some rare summertime surfing on the big lake. Superior did not disappoint, we got a few hours of good surf time in playing the reflecting waves off the big breakwater at the west end of the harbor entrance. (more…)

Somewhere in there is my friend Marius.   We were out surfing in light 2-4ft conditions,  and as things started to die, we decided to search for some excitement at the base of our local cliffs.    As you can see, we (or more appropriately, he) found it!    

Well, we had a wonderful weekend paddling at the Mendocino Sea Caves. (more…)

On the way home from a long weekend of instructing at the Door County Sea Kayak Symposium, I took a detour up to Lake Superior to meet up with friends and paddle Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, 40+ miles of sandstone cliffs, dunes, sea caves, arches and waterfalls.

With the recent scorching 110+ degree weather in Redding, me and a few buddies decided to go play on the Northern California coast to escape the heat. (more…)

As usual a busy week preceded the weekends paddling therefore it was early Saturday morning when the last of us arrived at the Anglesey Outdoor Centre campsite. Breakfast there is easily arranged and good value, so as we ate, we finalized our plans based on the actual weather. (more…)

Well this is not exactly what I had in mind… I have rescued a lot of people before, but this morning I had to rescue a goat. The poor little guy wandered off a cliff and got stuck in some blackberry bushes down on the river. Good thing we came along on our morning paddle and found him!

This has to be one of the best Spring’s in the Pacific Northwest that I can remeber in some time. The weather has been stunning and the calander has been chalked full of sea kayaking trips for the new film that I’m working on Pacific Horizons.
