Humm… Forecast windy again tomorrow, I’m thinking if in a river kayak the paddle back will be arduous and not too enjoyable. sea kayakers will fair better, I guess.
is a sea kayaker willing to take over the leadership of the trip? Suggest we go take a look.
Wind forecast: Needs to be light winds (assume sea kayaks can cope with windier conditions)
Arnside Borewave: it was a particularly good one sometime ago! so hoping for a repeat

8. Meet to share lifts at: none needed
9. Anything else: It’s tricky for first timers as a very powerful wave over shallow water, therefore it’s easy to get tripped up
Tide height is 9.64 (Ramsden Dock )so there should be a good bore wave.
HW is at 12.24 so aim to be on the water at Arnside at 08.55
Should be back in Arnside by 11.30
River or sea kayaks.
If intending to ride borewave must have a solid first time roll.
You can join us and just follow the bore wave if you don't wish to surf on it
Not suitable for novices.

I am happy to co-ordinate and lead the trip. However, as we will be a team, we are jointly responsible for each other’s safety on the water.
Please ensure you carry the correct kit for the trip you are attending.
