We both took groups out of Kennack Sands towards the Lizard today. Jeff had a 3* assessment and I had the last day of a 5 day Intromediate. We had beautiful surf rolling in from the south west. This is my favourite time of year in Cornwall when all of the beaches are deserted and there is not a surfer in sight.

We have had a busy 6 weeks here in Falmouth. I have been getting used to the British weather and water temperature and Jeff is getting ready for the start of his Scandinavia expedition. We have been running lots of courses and we have actually had a good amount of sun. The Canoe Expo in Coventry was a success and it was great to catch up with lots of friends. The 2008 course and expedition dates are all online and we are looking forward to the season ahead.

Intromediate Sea Kayaking with Jonathon and Jane

Easter week has been an absolute stunner, not just on the weather front, but also with the clients we have both had the fortune to meet and paddle with. The last two days have been spent with Jonathon and Jane, down visiting the West Country from Newcastle, they booked onto an introduction to Sea Kayaking Course after having bumped into Simon as he set off from Sennen earlier in the week. The first day we had ideal conditions, flat calm seas, and clear sunny skies. By the end of the day Jonathon even managed to progress onto doing a few rolls, not just the first part either, successfully coming up three times before we called it a day.

Leaving the Helford river on day two.

I woke up on day two and checked the forecast, E3-4, that means surf at Maenporth, and we decided that on the successes of the previous days activities we would head down to the Helford River and launch from the Ferry Boat Inn then paddle back to Maenporth and start a little surfing. What a day we had, by the end of the two days we all felt a little bushed, but in that healthy radiating way, and decided to rename the course Intromediate Sea Kayaking.

Well done Jonathon and Jane
