Surfing Sanity by Greg Stamer Surf kayaking is a thrill that I like to compare to whitewater or downhill skiing. Like these sports, knowledge and proper technique are vital to avoid injuries and to maximize your enjoyment. It is not unusual to have the bow hit bottom when surfing. Note that these maneuvers are done offshore, and not right at the beach in six inches of water. A good roll will make surfing safer and more enjoyable.
Sea kayaks are limited in surf play and glass boats and rudders are prone to damage.
A plastic whitewater kayak with sharp edges will allow you to maneuver on the waves. They sponsor two major skills clinics a year and enjoy getting together for day trips and overnighters in interesting destinations throughout the state.
