Lol

Interested if on the 7th

I'm interested in either date depending on my health condition

Interested.........Ocean this weekend is 20 to 30 kn winds with 10 ft swells good time to do it. I would like to use my sons Moken 12.5 and see if it leaks on its top. Heck I don't even know if I could flip it let alone flip it back over it weighs more than me....LOL
Well they say cooler weather and chance of rain Sunday. I am an old wuss so I need sun on these old bones.

Interated, however only the 7th would work for me. Got work Saturdays

The 7th it is! I just remembered that the Rollins lake event is the 6th, so 7th is best in case any Rollins competitors want to join us at folsom.

Sunday forecast is high of 68 and windy. For those who haven't done this before the idea is to wear the gear that you plan to wear on the salt.  Bring a dry bag if you have one. They make a great counterweight for people who tend to flip their kayaks when re-boarding. It's probably an old technique, Sean Morely taught a few of us the drybag counterweight trick at his self rescue class, and I much prefer it to paddle floats etc.

I also recommend that you keep your decks clear of rod-holders etc., particularly if your immersion wear is neoprene. I would hate to see someone rip a new wetsuit or drysuit.

This isn't really a class or anything, so we are depending on a few guys with some experience helping out guys who might have less experience.


What time do you guys wanna do this?
