Ricketts Point sea kayaking with VSKC

Ricketts Point was my first paddle with the Victorian Sea Kayak Club on a nice calm sunny morning. We paddled around Ricketts Point then down towards Mordialloc and back.

 Techniques I practices were:

• fast turns around marker poles
• low brace
• rudder with elbow in
• fast stop - back paddling
• deep water re-entry to kayak (assisted)

 

 

It was a pleasant trip with experienced kayakers. 

I was happy with my Mirage 580, its a nice fast boat.  We had coffee and pastries at the Ricketss Point Tea House Cafe afterwards.

I fitted a paddle leash after the trip.

 

Aspendale Fliteboard to Mentone and Gnotuk FB#45

A calm morning provided excellent conditions for my Fliteboard tour from Aspendale to Mentone and Gnotuk. Nice riding past Mordialloc Pier up to Mentone then back a bit further out. 

I stayed up on the foil most of the time, enjoying turns.

I got back to Aspendale with more that 50% battery (Explore) so I continued on down the Gnotuk Av and back. 

I swapped out the battery for my Nano battery and did some loop and fast turns up the pier and back.
