Sea Kayak Surfing - Isle of Man

 Some pics from sea kayak surfing at Port Erin Beach, on West coast of the Isle of Man yesterday, Peel was a little too lively for the session we had in mind... Got a text from David saying the surf at Port Erin beach were clean slow breaks : )
 The waves were indeed ideal, from small at one side of the bay, increasing in side and volume the further you got from the harbour.
 By the Intermediate session in the afternoon, students and coaches were trying all sorts, including vertical and aerial manoeuvres... 
 Keirron and Sam attempted some double action with mixed results : )
An excellent session in bright sunshine, well done everyone on their determination!
Thanks to Ian for all his rescues in the morning.

ps. me and George returned with the sea kayak fleet in prime condition after servicing them at the SKUK factory in N Wales last week. Thanks a million to George, Phil, Scot and all the lads who made it a success.


Hiya! Just thought I'd mail you to let you know how much I enjoyed our kayaking session today, in fact I could have stayed out for another 2 hours.  I'm not know for my love of surf but today it FINALLY felt like a few of the pieces of the surfing jigsaw came together!
Thanks again it was a true adventurous experience :-) Rach x 

Forgot to say that, for once, there was a definite feeling of girl power on the water today!!!
Kim was very active on the camera, captured leaving the surf zone (above).
Thanks to the photo Ste!
