Anyone else coming? Deb can't come so unless we get some more takers I think we should scrap it. Check here before coming on Monday.

I deleted the other Chrissy event. I would be happy with the 19th/20th too. As I said if we want things like a data projector I can bring one.

Phil, maybe you should terminate this post and transfer your idea/offer across to Selim's Post as both you and he are both chasing the same goal; ie a Klan get together for Christmas. A terrific idea, which both Annie and I support. My vote remain...

What do the Klanners think of a Christmas do? We could paddle or choose a klanners house to meet at. We could watch kayak porn, tell lies about big sharks, fast roll techniques, paddle types and be snooty if people do or don't have rudders. All go...

Selim - I didn't mean to have a date on the Christmas paddle thing. 12/13 or later sounds great.

Maybe kill two birds with one stone. Could we have combined Simon talk about trip talk and Chrissy party? Are you keen Simon?

Phil Thompson commented on Simon McGuire's blog post 'Byron Bay to Newcastle'
Go Simon! I guess you are staying at Birubi Beach caravan park. In nor easter he should be fine at the top end of the beach. In a southerly he should consider Fingal instead or Fishermans Bay. Fingal is easier in any wind.

Thoughts on the weekend

I had a fab time on the weekend - thanks all for being part of it. I went to work today on a high - great weather, great company and heaps of fun.

I was very impressed with Rob's professionalism and his easy manner. I had heard much about him and Mark and they did not fail to live up to their aura. I would really like to get a few more sessions in later.

A few of the moments that make me smile

- that moment when Rob said "Okay you four - Capsize" and we all just went quiet. "He doesn't really… Continue

Fun around Hawkes nest

Gday all

Just got back from a week at Hawkes nest. Took three kayaks and my trolley so that a friend could come along with my wife.

One day we went to the heads from Jimmy's. Nice and rough looking. Pods of dolphins that don't want to play

Then it calmed down a little and I had a look outside but not far. Then around through the leads and wandering around through the mangroves.

Next day I trolleyed down to Jimmy's and put the trolley in the back. The westerly was less than 5 -10 knots and I… Continue

Playing in the surf

Hello all

I went out yesterday morning for a play on the bar. There was a lot of white water about and I was on my old kayak - a little 13ft kevlar job from Washington state. It has a big underhung rudder, a lot of bow flare and being short I thought it would go well in the surf.

I had a good time playing with bracing in the foam. I would get hit by a little bit of white water and lean into it and surf sideways for up to 20m (or so it felt). I would lean into the wave keeping my hands down on… Continue

White water

Just got back from a weekend with my son's Duke of ed group doing white water kayaking on the Barrington river. Amazing stuff. We didn't do a lot of miles but as the leaders were into developing skills we spent a lot of time developing technique and doing safety drills.

My first thoughts were that it was a hoot. Going down rapids is a blast but it is as much fun playing around in the fast flowing water at the bottom - eddy hopping, side surfing on a standing wave, paddling up the rapid, quick t… Continue

Phil, Just a comment on the NSWSKC trips - their trip calendar is now up on their website (including at least one of Henry's). Annie and I have been accepted on 3 (Hawkesbury, Myall and Nelson Bay) - all just 2 day weekend affairs

Hi Phil, welcome to the klan. I'll check my schedule over Easter and see if I can get out with you. Sounds like a good trip.
