I love to take my rudderless outrigger to surf ๐Ÿ˜œ This video was from a year ago when I was just learning basics of steering which btw none of these techniques in the video are correct ๐Ÿ˜‚ but I used to love going to the local beach break in town and waiting for sets and surfing them in as far as I could. Itโ€™s probably going to be the first thing I will do when quarantine is lifted in Bocas del Toro, Panama. After almost a year of downwinding i would to go back and surf on my canoe again ๐Ÿ˜Ž Also, just like I have done on other social media accounts I am going to start using the hashtag #๐—–๐—”๐—ฅ๐—œ๐—•๐—•๐—˜๐—”๐—ก๐—ฃ๐—”๐——๐——๐—Ÿ๐—˜๐—ฅ๐—ฆ for now on to follow any posts related to paddling. Itโ€™s going to take some time to build up something here on Appics but if youโ€™re interested check out that hashtag on Instagram or Facebook to see more about paddling around here.

wow, that looks like a lot of fun. I'm not really a fan of open water kayaking but this seems to move a lot faster or maybe you are just really really good at it :P

Thanks ๐Ÿ˜Š look up on YouTube surf ski those are kayaks that are made for open water downwind surfing. Really big in Hawaii, Australia, South Africa, Spain etc. Itโ€™s a narrow kayak w rudder they go faaaaaast. Look for surf ski downwind videos insane ๐Ÿคฏ
