Cold water kayak surfing

Combined air and water temperature below 0C, Dave and I headed out to the eastern shore to catch some double-overhead monsters that were rolling in Friday afternoon.

We weren't the only ones taking advantage of the 3.5m+ waves that came in last Friday. On our way out past Lawrencetown we saw at least 15-20 surfers gearing up to take advantage of the waves. The winds were light, making it easy to get out and onto the waves. We got quite a few nice rides. A great way to wrap up a work week.
