Josh and Scooter try Kayak Surfing for the first time

There were some nice waves out at Follets Beach yesterday (Tuesday). The water was choppy and thick and it was quite strenuous to get past the 2nd breakers. There were some really nice swells past the 3rd breakers but they were difficult to catch because since most of the waves wouldn’t break completeley but just cap a little bit before rolling on, leaving you unsatisfied with an abbreviated ride.
After spending quite a bit of time to get a single big wave on the 3rd breakers I moved in to the second breakers where the waves were breaking nicely and packed a good punch. I wiped out several times on the 2nd breakers but was rewarded with many excellent rides.
After me and my compatriot for the day had had our fill (about 2 hrs of kayak surfing in some decent surf will leave even a fit fellow quite tired) I offered the boys in the next camp the opportunity to go for a ride. Josh was eager and Scooter was coaxed into finally boarding a kayak for some vigorous fun in the surf. They were both unquestionably hooked.
During this time of year we are at the beach regularly, several times a week, mostly in the evenings on weekdays, so if you see us there, stop by and say hello and even go for a ride on a yak if you are so inclined.
Good foto! Great waves! Never been there, but really want to try it!
