Alex 34765 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I’ve been sea kayaking before. Enjoyed it once I realised how stable they are. I mention that because I think CT should’ve bought a kayak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 6985 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I went paddle boarding in Rhodes last year. The hire bloke asked me if I was a professional? I said no, I'm not interested, I'm making shitloads out of Nursing. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mention that because I think CT should’ve bought a kayak The Kayak (inflatable) is coming soon. More for me and the Mrs on our next break away. Btw, she is the normal one in the family whilst the rest of us have varying degrees of ADHD. God knows I couldn’t live with me if I was normal. Sea kayaking looks mint but it would have to be a very very calm day before I tried it. I have no idea how people stand up on surf boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thankfully as we were later informed of this sign at Druridge Bay I managed about half a mile standing up today. Im not too fussed by it tbh, if I’d remembered to take dry clothes today I would probably have jumped in. It’s deffo more of a mind game thing so the sooner I’ve broke my (not a) duck, the better. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The company I did it with advertised regular orca sightings including promotional photos of them coming right up to the kayaks. I was thinking “I hope that doesn’t fucking happen today”. It was an amazing experience though. Did it here Edited July 24, 2022 by Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw them up close in Florida in the 90’s (sea world - I know), but I would be terrified meeting them on a kayak. Saw this video the other day with whales which would have been magical. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 34765 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I was actually lucky enough to see them in the wild on that holiday. But I wasn’t on a kayak, fortunately there’s been a few sightings off the Northumberland coast in recent years. I saw loads of humpbacks on that holiday too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobos 297 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) You can go sea kayaking in Tynemouth , it's not quite the same as the daily kayak to the beach from my house I used to do , but it is very relaxing and surprisingly calm. (my kayak was the blue one at 0:04) -just saying Edited July 24, 2022 by scoobos 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Druridge gets that every year, well this year is third year in a row, stopped taking Hamish there because of it, first time there was no warning sign until we were halfway round, was well pissed off as he’s more in the water than out of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t say I never do anything for you, Tubbs. Random Hobby Generator As it happens…. I watched a few of these folks on YouTube who take it very seriously. Some cool places that they get into but doesn’t appeal to me. (and my next one is the inflatable kayak when / if funds allow). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
