On day 3 of learning to Kayak I wanted to get better at surfing. I used a shock proof / water proof camera attached to my helmet to get point of view footage.

I do go upside down several times, and now folks can see what it’s like.

This one’s a bit long, so I do apologize.

Mike, Jeff and I went down the GW Canal a couple weeks back and I had some video I had shot. I decided to record my own soundtrack for it and used the song “Outside” by John Gorka (slightly modified, sorry John). If anyone wants lessons we teach kayaking. Check out www.ckapco.com.

most of your back, shoulder, abs, & to a lesser extent, arm muscles. kayaking is a great way to get in shape & is very peaceful (on a lake or ocean anyway)
