Just some pics from two weeks ago with Becka on a trip to Spain (by train) for lessons at https://www.surfskicenter.com/tarifa It’s a totally different paddling technique, which makes it interesting. We don’t have room, money or capacity to buy these surfskis on top of everything else, but if anyone can let us out to play for a day on theirs on a session we could pass on everything that we learnt (which was included in 2hrs of classroom lessons a day in Tarifa).

20 + paddlers made the trip today including Gareth’s Improvers group.   A good turn out after the poor weather recently luckily the weather was better than most of us expected today. Light to moderate breeze, dry ,sunny intervals.  All coped well. No Tide race or overfalls to play in this time and only one seal bothered to greet us on the end of Hilbre Island. Unfortunately, due to an injury Mark Pawley had to sit out the paddle.   Fortunately for the rest of us, Mark kindly made Lots of tea and coffee in his paddle bus for anyone who wanted it on our return. Thanks Mark and all for a good paddle.

Following the satnav past Blue Sping state park we arrived at a strip of beach in the middle of nowhere. This is where we met Geoff a marine biologist sea kayaker from Maine and Greg the owner of Adventures in Florida with a load of kayaks. Ciaran smiled while the rest of the clan were ready to drown me. Once everyone got over the shock and received a brief from Goeff the boats were sorted into a mixture of sized Prijon and Perceptions. Goeff managed to calm us all down and convince my family that I was not going to drown them all, as we were going to paddle the St Johns river the Slowest moving river in the US. We all Set off up stream in search of Manatees, even Paula and Rebecca were paddling a sit on top Due Peception. As we passed the Blue Spring, the water was 21 degrees and rising up all year round (a bit warmer than the dock). The Manatees had overwintered before spreading through the 800miles of streams and rivers before heading out to sea in the summer. Despite not finding any Manatees we spotted so much wildlife, numerous fish including a Mullet that jumped over the front of my boat and birds including Vulchers, Herons and a Bald Eagle swooping down catching a fish just in front of us carrying it away in its tallons. A Yellow Chested Turtle and yellow tree snake passed, as Ciaran and myself lagged at the back near the bank he screamed “something is under my boat” as he paddled back he faced off an 8ft Alligator. After it all we returned to the beech having not been eaten with no swims Adventures in Florida | Orlando Kayaking Tours Guided kayak tours near Orlando.
