SUMMARY:Surf and Rough Water Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Join Jeff for three days of fun and skill development on the Virginia Eastern Shore. This class will involve one day of rough/open water training and two days of surfing. \n  \nThe rough water day will be at Smith Island off Wise Point (near Kiptopeke). We’ll deal with the outrageous current that whips around the tip of Smith and the incredible bouncy water that it generates right at the tip. And\, the wave train beckons! The class will include strategies for dealing with the various confused water features found in the area and ways of grappling with issues that arise as a result of things going awry. Figure on some incident management in rough water\, including rescues\, towing\, back-deck carries\, etc. \n  \nThe two days of surfing will include at least one at Metompkin Inlet and maybe one at Smith island.  If it seems like the surf at Smith isn’t working\, both surfing days will be at Metompkin. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Kayak Training
DESCRIPTION:Where:  Seabrook Island\, S.C – St Christopher Camp & Conference Center \nWhen:  Veterans Day weekend November 9-11\, 2019 \nTrainers:  Ashley Brown and Jeff Atkins \nDetails:  Check-in Friday Nov. 8\, 2019 after 3pm | Check-out by 10am Monday Nov. 11\, 2019 (arrangements can be made to stay additional nights if rooms are available) \n\nCONCEPT: 2 ½ days of Training\, Touring & Fun (before the snow flies) Camp St. Christopher is on Seabrook Island and is a secluded quiet summer camp property. Lodging includes Air-conditioned rooms\, warm showers\, and breakfasts. Due to the close proximity to the ocean\, we will have easy evening walks on the beach. A conference room provides us a great group meeting space for class and social activities. Dolphins strand feed along the banks and bioluminescence provides for a magical nighttime experience. There is no light pollution\, so it is a perfect spot for star gazing! We are a short drive to some local restaurants and can enjoy an evening campfire near the dunes. \n\nA Sample Plan – Understanding that we will modify the plan considering weather\, skill and interest.Saturday – Teach and Trek Paddle to Botany Bay. We will paddle in the Edisto River and the small creek behind Botany Bay. Review currents and tides. Do some on the go navigation\, and get used to some small waves. We will plan to practice some rescues.Sunday – We will cross over to Deveaux Banks and try to circumnavigate it! There might be breaking waves and surfable conditions. This will be the rough water day to try new things and push your boundaries.Monday – Exhausted but still excited\, we will take this half day to surf\, or relax and sight sea (Sea what I did there?) \nWho should come:While this isn’t designed for people who are brand new to kayaking\, you do not need to be an expert or an ocean paddler. The North Edisto Inlet provides multiple venues to include ocean surf\, bouncy waves\, river crossings\, spectacular marsh views\, and access to the undeveloped beaches of Botany Bay. Therefore paddlers can enjoy the conditions that suits them best. We will be launching into the North Edisto River near the Inlet. At that point you can turn inland to Privateer creek\, cross the river to paddle around Botany Bay\, or turn toward the Deveaux Bank and the Ocean. \n\n\nCOST: $465\nSend payment to Jeff via PayPal at justoverdoit@yahoo.com \n\n\nOR\nMail a check to Wavepaddler\, 531 Sweetbay Rd.\, Charleston\, SC 29412
