This is not a journey to talk someone into. Pick your ship mates carefully. We often have experienced paddlers suffering from sea-sickness, and some have to be rescued by motor boat. Competency and local knowledge not only ensures safety but also enriches the experience. Our guide to client ratio is a maximum of six clients per guide.
Winds are calmer in the morning, picking up as the day progresses and calming down before dark.
A morning departure can make the difference between a pleasant paddle and a blustery survival paddle, especially if the surf is up. Combining a late departure, strong winds, surf and backwash can make the dream trip a bad experience for the ill prepared. We reserve the right to cancell or postpone all departures due to inclement wind and sea conditions. Scopalomine, which is administered via a skin patch, works the best but needs a doctor's prescription. For some, the Acu-Band wrist straps work well.
