Yesterday, we went to the beach with our surf skis!! When we first arrived, the beach looked relatively calm, but soon after we got there the sea breeze kicked up and our surf ski adventure was much like being on a rowing machine (with kayak-style paddling), but with the benefit of sea breeze, sunshine, and warm waves washing over us. Great fun!! And I even managed to catch a few waves and come flying back into shore ... made all the paddling out worthwhile. My rashie also came into it's own as I tumbled off my surf ski a few times ... first time I've worn one.
We did a bit of wading and I also attempted to swim, but the waves were a bit much for my limited swimming skill.
It would be interesting to set up a trailer we could use to haul the surf skis down to our local beach.
