Bespoke sea kayaking is for you and set at your pace. Its specific based on what you want and need to achieve your goals. Its a great way to fast track your skill, ability, confidence, knowledge and understanding. For example, Andrew started sea kayaking on a Bespoke Intro course, last August 2014 and after only four Bespoke sea kayaking days, he's really getting to grips with it all. Having recently bought a sea kayak that works really well for him and he's comfortable with. He's now looking forward to spending more time on the water
Puffin Island seemed the right and best location, with some wind (but also protected), gentle swell, 3.5-4 knots of current, bird life and not to forget the seals!
Eddy turns, ferry glides and stern rudders ...
We saw over a dozen Puffins and these 3 got close enough for a photo ....
Bespoke can also be for a small group of friends or a club. This can be a general social activity or it can have a specific focus. Mandy organised a weekend for her kayak club and booked some super sunny weather too ... this has been a fairly regular year event. This year, due to calmer seas and a sunny blue sky, more current and flow could be experienced.
Rhoscolyn the first day and eddy turns, with keeping momentum ... Mandy below, enjoying the moment ...
Cliff moving down through the gentle race ... and after 3 years of not being in a sea kayak!
Denzil ....
Simon working his way towards the eddy, at Rhoscolyn Beacon ...
Then on to caves, gullies and arches ...
After a reflection on the day and a ponder of Sundays forecast. Puffin Island seemed like a super location. NW wind Bf 3/4 and the current flooding for best part of the day - wind with tide ... seals and lots of birds zooming about ...
A big flock of Oyster Catchers, were just stunning to watch. With there red beaks bobbing up and down ...
It had been a super weekend and there's even talk of a weeks sea kayaking in Scotland for next year ... Happy days .. ;)
Currently I have a few mid week days which are available for Bespoke sea kayak coaching in June. Contact me for more information or to find a suitable day.
Thanks,
Roger
