Every kayaker needs to try this! | Kayaking on the California coast

In this episode of Paddle Tales, I've hooked up with Jeff and Cate from Liquid Fusing Kayaking in Mendocino, California, to do some kayak surfing and rock gardening in the rough waters of the Pacific. I discovered one of the ultimate natural playgrounds!

Very interesting place and cute see lion!

Epic! I live in No. CA, only been paddling for a year. Unfortunately the liquid fusion folks have relocated to PA.

[Carljouannet]

Really cool, looks like something to add to the vision board 😁

Awesome footage Ken. That's what I love about this hobby there's always something new to try. Have to say this looks so strange because every instinct in your mind is to avoid the bloody rocks however not this time and it looks like great fun. Also nice bit of surfing once you've got that wave 🌊🌊🤟🤟

[kayasper]

You did well, for a white water kayaker😁🤘🏼
But serious; one have to be very careful between those rocks in an unfamiliar place.

In yer last video I tolda you shoulda tied some chickens to yer bow while you were paddling, and here ya go off'n paddle some chicken waves in Cali...ha ha! YEA! 🐣

Our Irish coast is very similar but I have never had the courage to surf around rocks. Maybe I will

[gradyrm]

Ken, might be a dumb question but, when you travel like this do the outfitters provide the boat and gear? Love to see a behind the scenes video on that process. Great drone work!! Ha

[tranquility]

Anyone else sitting here with a huge grin on their face lololol😂😂😂😂

[slighwentwalking]

There were a few 'are you sure about this?'
moments 😂 I say I wouldn't now but in
the moment I would likely do it if others did 🤨

[Kayaking_to_escape_family]

I like my pyranha fusion sot kayak better for those conditions. You don't get tanned legs with a sit in kayak !

[georgewilliamssr]

Done that many times. But here’s a note:wipe outs on barnacle is not good on dry suits. Stay in your boat.

Where's the best place to learn to sea kayak if you live in Central Louisiana?? 😆😂

[cdcdcd]

it looks fun but also quite dangerous! how much training would I need to attempt this?
