Surf Paddling Standing in 2009 W Fishing Kayak
This is our latest wave walking video (2 minutes long):
The ocean didn’t deliver big waves that day at Jenness Beach, NH, so we had to surf play using a more subtle technique. Anyway, there’s hardly ever a dull moment when you’re wave walking in the surf. You can always find new challenges that don’t necessarily involve surfing but rather measuring your skills against the waves in various angles, turning sharply, and more. Even staying in place while being battered by small breakers can be fun, if you know what you’re doing. If you don’t you lose balance and may end up swimming, but that’s no big deal, really.

Very impressive. Too bad there’s this background noise.

Cool clip! I’d like to try that myself one day
By the way, the background noise sounds like typical surf noise to me

It’s the sound of the waves and maybe some wind.

The demo video from 2007 has bigger waves in it but I like this one better because it’s more real to me in fishing terms. It shows you can fish standing from this kayak even in moving water, and the old movie was a surfing movie.
