On sunday i was not coaching, i and my 4 star course-mate reached CSSC club abt 12pm, we were discovered the Sea was super rough due to strong North East Monsoon. The sea condition was reminded us on last year 4star kayaking training course, it was almost the same height 0.8m.
I was picked up a Dancer and my neoprint spray cover and move to the sea, we were doing a couples of spot turn (Flat, Postive adging, negative aging) Left and Right 5 rounds, it was very difficult to paddled. We also did some of the like Foward stroke and reverse stroke using torso to paddled, also Low and High Recovery both stationary and on the moves. Beside that we were did the 3 times continuos Eskimo rolls with a storm roll (Roll on the move) both left and right hand side.
After we completed all the kayaking drills, we were use the kayak surfing the whole afternoon. beside surfing we were also discovered how to catched the waves for surfing and checked the distance of the wave (Wave length). I did the picking up straight surfing, too long nver surf thats why my kayak got pin by the wave, i also heated the shore for couples of times, my kayak was upside down and my body also heat the sand path.
Wow~ after i heated the sand path, i found that it was more painful then south china sea sand path, because our changi sand path is very hard. But i still all rite, the waves was keep pushing my kayak when i was still at upside down(Capsize) at the sand path, lucky our sand path was free of particles and glasses on that day. But it was lots of fishing line and we were very careful while we surfing the waves. I was using my sand roll to recovered my kayak while the wave energy is low.
Beside we tried up the straight surfing, we also praticing the Bongo Slide. ( Is to prevent us pin by wave, while we using edging to edge towards the wave and let the wave pushed our kayak until the wave crushing zone area safely)
Next praticing for my 4star refresher, i will be praticing more adventure stroke, like change of direction when we caught the bongo slide. and also maybe i want to trying something like using the wave to surf my kayak 360 degree surfing. Also praticing with helmet too.
ok all abt my sunday, is quite a enjoyable sunday. good la, some long never surf, but lucky i still can manage to surf most of the waves sucessful one.
