liquid Fusion Kayaking

This wednesday Kristin and I had the opportunity to go kayaking with Liquid Fusion Kayaking . They have many different styles or tours to suit everyone , we went on the wet and wild tour which is one of there more intense and demanding tours. Our tour started right on the sand of Noyo Harber Beach , We then headed out to sea learning how to turn how to stop and how to get back on if you fall out of your kayak. After learning how to play safely it was time for the fun part.
We then headed toward the rocks where we surfed the white water from the waves around and over the rocks and when I say over, I mean we actually surfed on a wave with took us over the center of the wash rocks. One of the things that surprised me is how physically demanding it actually was, just staying in one spot required constant rowing forward and backward to correct for the changing currents. After our trip I was drained it was time to go eat and take a nap. I would recommend that you should be in pretty good physical shape if you are wanting to try this kind of tour.
I highly recommend trying ocean kayaking if you have a sence of adventure and love the outdoors. To me it was a new, exciting , interesting way to view the beauty and experience and the power of the ocean . You can see our pictures from our trip at the link below .
