We do surf days and re entry practice and so on, would anyone be interested in having a session in some shithouse weather to get an idea of what paddling into PPB slop is like, of handling a yak with a following sea? Seems like the sort of thing that could be beneficial to experience first in the relative safety of a group rather than getting caught out in it for the first time when s change arrives sooner than expected or something.

Yes I would be keen on this. Probably only go out with bare kayak - i.e not fishing rods though, in case I turtle and trash stuff

Yeah, same as a surf day with just the kayak and maybe an epirb

Yep, I'd be keen.

would be good to test the revo out and really see how far it can be pushed

2 threads almost same thing, hmm I've done re-entries, but not roll overs and only in good conditions, a ruff weather one might be good practice, so im in but will depend on where and when

15 knots se at willy and you will know about it. Lol I'll take any chance to get out with fellow yakkas

I've been doing this a bit more lately, partly by accident i must say. Though doing it by design with no gear to loose would be more encouraging.

Kayaks do handle substantially different loaded vs unloaded though, especially in following seas.
