A hat, a water bottle and clothes you do not mind getting wet.
Notes from the bay
Short films on gear, launching and getting back on.
Carrying a kayak to the water
Two people, one boat and where to put your hands.
Standing up on a board
Knees first, then one foot at a time, in water you can stand in.
Reading the wind before we go
What I check at the car park, and why we sometimes stay ashore.
Getting back on after a swim
Re-entry, step by step, in shallow water with a friend beside you.
Packing the dry bag
What stays dry, what does not need to and how I fold it.
