Anyway I have Internet now and although a week has passed and everyone in kayaking NSW wrote and talked about how beautiful the place is and how good an event the R&R is I will add my 2 cents on photos.
But what is the R&R event I hear a friend of mine ask. Well it is a 3 days event organised by NSW Sea Kayak club where all the sea kayakers of the area and further afield get together, drink a lot of beers and socialise... Ahh, right there is also the paddling during the days and a lot of interesting people giving talks about what they know best in the kayaking environment.
I haven't taken many photos during the socialising-talking time but I took some while paddling:
Apologies if I add too many photos, I will trty to post only the best ones but I think they will be too many anyway...
The coast is a long unbroken cliff line
With some beautiful formations
On Saturday I was in a group to work a bit on forward stroke technique
The master Mark |
Master correcting a his Padawan (sorry I've just finished watching starwars clone wars) |
what a coast!! |
but the rock formations and the cost had a stronger appeal and soon the technique clinic degenerated into catching rebounds,
playing among rocks
and exploring caves
Sunday was paddling around the peninsula with a big group
Getting ready at Honeymoon Bay |
To start with the conditions were flat calm
then building up
after the "corner" a bit more of swell kept thing "steep"
and added the rebound agains the cliff
Exploring the caves is always an attraction
All smiles |
and some rolls showed me a different perspective
Some gauntlets
And heading back into the bay after the best 25 km I have paddled so far
Nice one Fer, you were shredding it out there in amongst the rocks and caves, a top weekend.
