Kayak Surfing, Ramla Bay, Gozo







Went to Ramla Bay on the north coast of Gozo not expecting to get more than a lazy paddle in calm waters, but to my surprise there were decent waves. So decent in fact that I tumbled over several times, so I got to try the 17C sea water properly.. Being a beginner in this sport, combined with a slight hangover and a long while since the last session, the breaking waves near shore proved quite a challenge.. But despite that, I caught quite a few waves and it was lots of fun! Some 2,5 hours later with heavy arms and a change of clothes, a pint and a pizza completed a great day..

Kayaking, Toro, Late Summer, Sweden, 2005




Late summer kayaking in Torö, south of Stockholm, pretty close to Nynäshamn. Popular surf-spot but with that kayak I had I was more being washed around than cathing any waves.. :-) The water was warm for the season, and I destroyed a nearly new pda-mobile due to a non-watertight watertight pouch..
