Kayak in Waves

Saturday I had my second kayak trip of the year. This time in waves.

The forcast said it would be around 1,2 meters, but I don’t think it was more than one meter. Luckly we know how to find waves to play in. Way more than one meter.

Luckly, I was not the only one that forgot his kayak.

After having fun in the waves, we practiced rescue. I was happy my self rescue in waves went without problems, even if it was only 70-80 cm. We also practice rescuing each other.

Never go kayaking in whitewater waves alone. You may end up in a situation you need rescuing. Even if you know self rescue, you may get injured.

Practice, practice, practice…

This was my first time trying a new waterproof camera, the OM System TG-7. The image quality is not as good as I am used to from my Canon 5D series cameras. But unlike the Canon, this one can be submerged in water without issues.

All in all, a good day.
