Seeing as we are a blog for all Kayakers I just thought that I would remind everyone that they are all welcome at the regular Paddles. The paddles are open to everyone with a competent sea kayak whether doubles or singles. We don't reccomend the recreational Fluid Type Kayaks as they won't keep up the distance or the speed!
The route is normally, dependant on the wind, from Bertha's in Simonstown in the direction of Seaforth or towards Fish Hoek. We often paddle all the way to Kalk Bay Harbour/or Millers Point but for those who feel that is a bit far there are paddlers who turn back sooner. Refreshments are normally enjoyed at Kalkies in Kalk Bay and their is always a post - paddle drink... (or six).
Paddle Times are Sundays at 09h30 and Wednesdays at 17h30 (in Summer) and 17h00 in winter. The Wednesday paddle is generally accepted as being suitable for the more competent paddlers as the pace is faster.
There are also specially scheduled Moonlight paddles and paddles at Cape Point from time to time. These are posted on this blog in advance. We also organise paddles in other areas and away trips from time to time.
Life Jackets are compulsory for all paddles.
If you are keen on joining the Sea Kayaking fraternity give us a call or post a comment on the Blog.
So Paul how about telling us the forcast for tomorrow. Estelle and I are keen to get some surfski practice in, ie if we are welcome in that type of craft!

ReplyDeleteSorry about the delayed response. But since your are not blonde (unusual indeed for a surfskier) I thought that you would have consulted windfinder and noticed the 350km/h South easter blowing all over the Western province last Sunday. Obvously you are, in fact, blonde.
A very delayed response,but we were clearly mad as we paddled to Longbeach and back in that gale.(Us 3 XT's)Both Bernard and I enjoyed our impromptu survival training. Pity u missed us and the 3 nutcases that paddled a Miller's run. Only bright spark was Basil who just waited for the beer afterwards.
