Surf's Up - Friday (August 4) Sea Kayak!!!

Friday, August 4, 2017 (10:00am - 2:30 pm)

Please have your boat and gear together at 10:00am including your footpegs so we can launch right away.

For those with whitewater experience who are less familiar with the sea kayaks, please email me and we can turn this into a learning opportunity.

(If you need a slightly different start/end time, please email me to discuss logistics.)

Description

Surf's Up! Wind forecast for Friday mid-day on Lake Mendota is for 17+mph with gusts well into the mid 30s from the Northwest.

That means bumpy waves and possible sea kayak surfing!

Weather permitting, I will lead a small group to sea kayak on Lake Mendota on Friday. We may also practice rescues and towing in conditions.

SK1, previous trips with Hoofers, standard swim test required. Given the water conditions, participation will depend on paddling skill and experience.

You will bring: Water, Lunch in a drybag to carry in your boat, Snacks, appropriate paddling clothes and shoes that can get wet (no cotton), warm dry clothes to change into, towel. I would suggest a paddling jacket because it may also rain.

Thank you!
