Sea Kayaking & Surf Kayaking for the moving water enthusiast

DP Review rounded up the available waterproof cameras for a thorough review. For Kayaking it is a constant question as to which unit offers the best image quality, waterproofing, and durability. In my experience I am 2 Pentax Optio’s into my digital photography career. I am considering a switch to an Olympus. Looks like the 8000 Tough Might be worthwhile.
Check out the review and let me know what you think!
We have such a limited time frame in Michigan where night paddling is fun, warm and enjoyable, rather than scary, deadly and cold. So I thought I would start an annual July full moon paddle in South Haven. The idea is to show up for sunset and to paddle until moon rise along the Lake Michigan shore. So come out to howl at the moon a bit and meet some other paddlers.
Where: Dog Beach 13 Ave Put in South Haven

When: July 7th 2009 8:00 PM.
Distance: Up to you.
What to bring: Some form of Coast Guard Approved lighting to ensure safety on the water. Usual safety gear. (Lifejacket). Libations for afterward on the beach.
Please watch the weather, while July is typically the dullest month in terms of wind and waves, freak storms can blow through. Surfing in the dark is harder than it looks on TV.

As a family, if I could name a place where everyone is in their element and having fun, it would be the beach. No complaints, no one ever wants to go home! Vacation=beach.
It’s always funny to see pictures of yourself breaking out. Keith turn that paddle wavelength ways! Also it is sooo much easier to break out in a sea kayak than a surf kayak. You have so much more hull speed. No comparison. But unfortunately you also don’t get to shred the waves!
This was the first day of kayak surfing in the outerbanks. It was great fun to get out in the bright sunshine and carve up a few waves. The shore break was bad, but further out there were some clean 4 foot waves that were great fun. I was struck by how much like lake michigan the outerbanks was. It seemed funny to me to be surfing sloppy shore break in saltwater where dunes followed the horizon as far as the eye could see. Sound familiar, minus the saltwater, pelicans and dolphins?
I did see dolphins on day 2, no photos? One popped right out of a wave I was surfing. It was just like san diego, except this time i knew it wasn’t a great white about to eat me whole.
Lovely shot of brown pelicans in formation heading out to sea to fish. We are bereft of our own large sea birds in the great lakes. Other than dolphins these are the largest sea creatures we saw on our trip!
This entire pile of shells is in our yard now. We have a lot of rocks and shells from trips. We could probably be taken to eco jail for transportation of sea creatures.
Great day where I went kayak surfing and sea kayaking in the outerbanks. Laura and I do well on vacation. We squeeze a lot in. This was the first time I got to put my boat in salt water. It was awesome to get out and have pelicans flying overhead, and dolphins in the water.
Bon Iver from Black Cab Sessions on Vimeo.
Bon Iver and his Wisconsin winter heartbreak speak volumes to me. This song in particular Creature Fear speaks to the highs and lows one wants to express but can’t. These Black Can Sessions seem to capture the best out of so many artists. The Black Cab session of Sunset Rubdown’s Follow you Ahead is actually better than the album.
