Sorry I have to do it to you but here are a few photos of paddling down on the Costa Blanca, Spain. Altea and Calpe have long been a climbing destination but offer some great coastline in between the developments! The best is that its 18 degrees and no gales.
If you fancy it we will be running a trip out next year so drop us a line for some details.

For me the joy ? yes the joy of paddling in the Uk is the range of weather and conditions you can experience often all in the space of one day. This day started with light winds and sunshine and ended in the same with a filling of force 5 gusting 6 with heavy rain. Fortunately this had all been forecast and we were able to have the wind on our backs for a thrilling surf across Abereiddy bay.

Well another month blows through, but we have managed to dodge the wind and keep paddling. The joy of the Pembrokeshire coastline is that you can usually find somewhere out of the wind.
Sheldon and Andy came over from Hong Kong to camp and catch fish.

This month I (Nige) became a kokotat ambassador. I have been wearing kokotat kit for over 10 years and have always been impressed by its comfort, fit and longevity, so it was great when I was asked to be an ambassador.
I am in the process of updating our equipment page with a full account of kokotat kit.
