kayaking 5:30:00 [3] 13.0 mi (25:23 / mi)

My first outing in a surf ski - in the deep end with an epic V10 in the North Sea with Andy as safety boat/audience for watching me fall in/telling me how to get back in. Spent the first 2hrs getting to grips with staying upright, then the last 3.5 paddling in rougher water and riding the swell. Only one hairy moment of getting washed a bit far out in rather choppy water while I desperately flailed trying to get back in whilst the waves fought against me managing to....took me 8minutes to get back in! Shall not be repeating that part!

Great fun by the end and could handle most of the swell/waves by then. Mega wetsuit sunburn could look comical in my running kit....
