Kayak Surfing, Torö Stenstrand, Aug 17th

Wind speed about 13 m/s, the pebble beach and the sea were filled with surfers, wind surfers and kite boarders, and I joined the fun in the big waves with my little Kahuna.. Caught a few waves that gave exciting surfs, had a few others flushing over me and a "swim session" when I lost concentration and eventually was thrown up on the beach in a rather un-stylish fashion..

Kayak Surfing, Torö Stenstrand, Sweden

With a force 5-6 wind coming in from south-west, it's best to make good use of a sunny day and head to Torö.. I wasn't the only one that had the same idea, the rocky beach was full with sea sport enthusiasts.. Most of them were windsurfers, a fair amount were kite-boarders, a few were regular surfers and then there was me, the only one with a paddel.. As usual when the surf waves are high, I had a couple of un-planned swims but it was great fun and a decent work-out.. Although entering the kayak on slippery stones in a rough sea with a weak left leg is hard, it didn't make much difference out in the waves..
