serious sea-trials for a serious  seakayak

…and an everything but serious paddler…

Let’s start form the beginning: I live in Sardinia, wich is basically an awesome deserted island at the center of Mediterranean Sea: 1,6 million of  people , half million in the Cagliari’s urban area; so the rest of the island is very scarcely populated.

This is a great opportunity for any kind of outdoor activity: trekking, sport climbing,  mountainbiking, and of course sea-kayaking.

so I packed my camping stuffs, loaded my kayak on the top of the car, and I took advantage of a very warm and sunny end of September to visit one of the wildest part of Sardinia: Orosei’s gulf , on the west coast, and do a serious sea-trials of the boat; images speak for themselves…three days of paddling in a totally wild nature

The small town of Cala Gonone was the starting point of the trip; then I paddled for a couple of hours ’til the awesome beach of Cala Sisine (camping here is allowed) , and passed a warm night in my tent; second day was “the big one” , about 16 km of wild coast from Cala Sisine to Capo Monte santu, and then back to Cala sisine for a deserved rest;  the third day I paddled back to Cala Gonone in a marvellous flat blue sea

and by the way, the homebuilt kayak family will soon grow….
