Waves n Caves
Whew!!! Our website is back up so now its time to report on our first Mendocino Kayaking Waves n Caves Weekend.
It was awesome!!! Three days of kayaking, exploring, and playing in the sea caves and rock gardens of the Mendocino Coast in whitewater kayaks.
Five of our students had never paddled whitewater kayaks before so it was a fun introduction for them. They were amazed at the maneuverability of these playful craft. Sea cave exploration was a breeze in the 8-10 foot boats especially when compared to their previous experiences maneuvering 14-17 foot sea kayaks in caves.
It was fun to see our students’ confidence build and to see them playing in whitewater features with comfort and ease.
Especially cool was on the third day when we went into the Devil’s Punch Bowl. This is a narrow tunnel that leads to a large sinkhole. With the whitewater kayaks, we landed the whole group on the gravel beach in the punch bowl.
We also had fun paddling into a scenic beach for lunch, tidepooling, and beachcombing.
Psssst – We are having another Mendocino Waves n Caves Adventure Labor Day Weekend. Register today for the early bird discount.
Also, Jeff and I had so much fun outfitting this trip (providing food, camping, and guiding) that we have plans to host more in 2013. Continuing the Waves n Caves but also including a couple of sea kayak overnight trips as well as a whitewater river trip. We have lots of options and are open to designing custom trips so drop us a line if you have some friends and want to come kayak and explore the Mendocino Coast with us.
