I like the pic of me and Ffion going over the breaker. Pity the camera didn't click just a split second earlier as Ffion rose about 2 meters in the air at the front
The one of Martin lying face down staring at his yak is a classic.
The hot bacon butties and coffee after getting wet in the surf was pure heaven.

Terry, the lesson of the rod holder is if your comming back in through a surf zone like that you need to break the rods down and pack them in the webbing not sticking out the rod holder like i did, with the rod holder buried in the hull there's no give if you take a tumble. whereas there is some give in the flag which is only sitting in a moveable tube in the crate. So thats what i learned on saturday.

and Glyn, i tried but missed that shot of you and Ffion going skywards, it would have made the set, my camera has about a 2 secs delay after taking a shot before the next, dont like it. I will be looking for a digi camera capable of continous sports action shots like my old Nippon SLR .
All the best.

How much do you pay for an average kayak and do they have to be special ones or have anything done to them to make them suitable?
