KS at Port Defiance


I kinda sacrificed the backlight for this shot....but the mountain view was tempting. The kayak symposium at Port Defiance State Park was also my first visit to Tacoma. This place is a great spot....fine beach for launching and the water is calm. This event is bigger and has a very busy stream of people. The classes fill-in fast and i was lucky to get a spot in the edging clinic. It was a great opportunity to try demo kayaks and I took a couple of Necky models for a spin....er...paddle. I like the Manitou 14 composite. During the edging clinic I used a Hurricane kayak....not too happy with the absence of thigh braces.
