Just a quick report on Lumpy Waters 2010-
We had a great turn out, great weather, great ocean conditions, great friends and good times at this years symposium in Pacific City, OR. Skies were mostly sunny, temperatures in the 60's and winds light. Swell averaged about six feet for the weekend, which is quite lucky considering the following weekend swells over thirty-seven feet were measured at the buoy just off the cape at Pacific City.
I didn't manage any pictures of the "Coastal Kayak Fishing" classes I lead as my hands were full, but on Sunday we caught cutthroat, surf purch, greenling, and crab at Cascade Head. All said and done it was an excellent time had by all.
Here are a few pics from the afternoon I wasn't coaching. These are mostly from the "Fear to Fun in the Surf" class.
Quite a few of the pictures are of Shay learning to handle her boat in the soup and launch and land on the beach. It was really quite impressive to see how quickly her skills and understanding developed over the course of the weekend. The coaches at the symposium are truly world class and Shay's progression serves as a testament to their abilities. I know I am looking forward to next year!
