The Walk-Launch






The walk-launch; or, glad I'm wearing a wetsuit.

The shorebreak was small but hefty enough to stop my kayak in its tracks, perhaps send it back up the beach or capsize it, so I walked it past the breakers before mounting.



I'm holding the paddle incorrectly, by the way. I have the paddle reversed and am using the back of the paddle to propel the craft. I took one or two strokes to get some momentum, and then switched the paddle to the proper side and direction.

Proper paddling here.
