Surf in Sea and HP Surf Kayaks





Earlier in the day I met up with my buddy Skip. We launched into Big River and headed out to Smuggler's Gulch for a surf. Skip was in his Illusion by Sterling Kayaks,

and I was paddling my Valley Kayaks "Rush".
Predicted conditions:
N wind swell 6-8' winds: NW 10-15 Clear skies with a high of 58'(F)

The drive down from Fort Bragg showed about waves about 1 foot. The mouth of Big River was about 2 feet and closing out. When we got to our destination we found nice low angle 6 footers rolling in. Then a the set rolled in at 8-10'!!! I was very happy as these were a lot steeper and gave me the chance to surf!

After about two hours the conditions become to fat, winds picked up 15+, so we headed in.
