Had a great day at the water.
Might not have made the most intelligent choices, but all worked out well.
A group of friends, (non-watercraft) , went to the spot for the holiday. It was crowded. I had my ski's and they had plastic kayaks and inflatable kayaks...
There were loads of fisherman as well as people that just wanted to get wet.
Lots of folks trying to share the waterways.
Lisa made her first ocean run of the year....(now that the water temp is in the mid 70's) ... the waves were garbage. 1 to 2 and blown to hell...no fun at all.
So, I figured I'd let some novice/never rode a stand-up friends try it out. They had ridden couches before, but never a stand-up ski.
It was what you would expect. Kind of comical...but, even though I schooled them on courtesy to fisherman and others, they still got into situations that an experienced rider would have avoided.
There was no harm and no foul. Everyone had a good time.
But: A holiday weekend is not the best time to let newbies try a stand-up ski...LOL.
