Back to blog

Cap'n Yak reporting back from an eventful summer of paddling pleasure. I had hoped to blog all my kayak-related activities but never got round to it. In brief, it's been great playing in the water.
I finally got to paddle to Cape Flattery from Hobuck (thanks to Brian for the invite and Scott for leading) and even cross over to go around Tattoosh Island. Apres-work Tuesdays were spent either playing kayak polo or messing around at the Powerhouse. Much surfing--and getting trashed in some wicked dumpers at La Push during the Surfing and Traditions kayaksurf heat. It's certainly made me appreciate Hobuck even more, speaking of which, I had some awesome sessions while demoing the new Riot Boogie and Mega Bullit-S which totally rocks btw. If I had a couple grand to spare, I'd certainly snag that Bullit. Dropped by Westport to surf w/ Dave and some other folks too. AND of course, my usual paddle workouts mixed in with a little jogging round the lake.



We just had our first round of fog, which means that summer's days are pretty much numbered and the days are noticeably shorter. Erg. But now that I've FINALLY subscribed to cable internet, I'll probably be glued to the other kind of surfing. Plus once I get a 360, it'll be couch time w/ my controller smacking up some Covenant mugs. Bioshock looks really awesome too. Got a chance to play the demo and our QA guy brought in his 360 to work, so I had fun zapping and whacking thugs in several early levels.

3:38am right now. Dunno why i can't sleep--i swear that's herbal tea in my cup. Better sign out.
