Highlights: Paddle in in surf with no capsize
Lowlights: Decided late to go…
Launch: Low to moderate wide surf ok
Landing: Moderate to big wide surf ok
Pos: here
Loc: Itanhaem
Acc: Leo and Lucianas house
Dist: 35,8 km
Start: 9:40 End: 16:50
My plan from yesterday was to have a day off, but when I was looking on the surf from the breakfast table, I guessed it was not too bad here in front of Leo’s house. The wind was fore casted low anyway, which obviously pushed down the morning surf despite the same swell height as yesterday was fore casted. So no real excuse to stay in…
I got the idea to save Leo another long drive on Brazilian roads back to my yesterday’s landing spot to paddle the missing leg of about 32 km up to Leo’s house just back and forth starting from his house. Leo liked to paddle with me already yesterday anyway, so we both spontaneously at 9 am decided to have a go, 16 km back, 16 km return to complete the missing section in style.
Leo was on his lightweight epic V8 surf ski, I paddled an almost empty kayak, but was still about 17-20 kg more heavy with my kit. Leo promised not to paddle too fast which he did as long as we were chatting nicely on the first half of the way with good current and very low following wind. An easy average of 6,5 km/h one way.
When we were turning back, things got harder to paddle with current against and head windup to 10 knots, and the average was only about ridiculous 3,5 km/h. I had to work hard, Leo was getting bored, paddled far ahead and was playing around and surfed a few swell waves dangerously close to the beach break. Like men are…:-)
But thing changed again on landing – Leo got trashed in some big wave, I paddled elegantly in (with some luck), upright and in style…I had my rolls done yesterday!
I will keep on going tomorrow, despite again some moderate head winds.Well, take what you get…there is not much time to lose to finish my trip latest on the 2nd of May!
