Messing About in Boats Sunday, February 25, 2007

What do you do on a cold, drizzling, winters day?
The surf was big and all over the place at Hells mouth - not much fun in a surf boat - so we decided to go and mess about in our seakayaks in the smaller surf at Dinas Dinlle. It was great fun and good practise. Neither of us have spent much time trying to surf waves in our seakayaks. Usually on trips with heavily laden kayaks we're trying to avoid big surf and come in on the back of waves, and if the surf is up at home we go out in our surf boats. So today was great for experimenting and having a laugh - well, as much as you can when you're fingers are tingling with the cold!! An hour or so later, we emerged from the beach smiling, after 5 rolls between us, one of them when we collided with each other!!

On a separate note, the PAL 'This is the Sea 3' DVDs have landed in Wales and have taken over the house ( much to Alun's annoyance!). I wish I could post them to everyone right now, but I have to wait a while so that they arrive on the release date of 10th March. The pre-orders are all packaged up and labelled in separate boxes - one for Europe, one for the UK and one for Australia and far away places like that!! I've already posted a few out to magazines and websites who want to review the DVD, so we might start to see trickles of feedback very soon!! I've also sent them to UK and Europe shops so they'll have them on the shelves on 10th March.

The US DVDs are still being made - they should be finished this week and then a similar process will happen there.
