The Knap to Bendrick Rock


Friday 2nd July 2010

Craig and I set off from the pebbles an hour before high water in to a slight SW swell, Small short waves crashing on to the beach and the odd big one.
we paddled straight to Barry docks entrance.


Its a different world from this level
                                                   









Now what was my draft


Our office on the way out to put a pilot on a ship


He knocked and knocked but they wouldn't let him in


Fenders don't see much action these days


Bandrick Rock


Barry Island beach (Whitmore Bay)
Stretch the legs and a snack


The Rockhopper


Now these waves aren't big, but they can catch you out,
Craig's got to buy new sunglasses.


In to the Old harbour, then back to the pebbles.


A good paddle.

Aberporth 11th June 2010




The first time I had to land in the surf I came out, it was at Newgale and the water was clean and warm so no problem but I needed some practice. Looking down at Aberporth beach there was small waves to the right so I went for a play.

Had a good time getting some confidence, high bracing beam on waves and surfing.


Hopped up this gully to stretch legs


Parking, Get there early school hol times
