Attached below is a great write-up with humor, wisdom, and spot on clarity that provides a great summary to this last weekends Golden Gate Sea Kayak Symposium 2014! Nicely done Kate Hives!! Events like Golden Gate not only bring together world class coaches and students but they also create a sense of belonging to those who otherwise enjoy the freedom and autonomy of the kayak. Rough water paddling is a Team Sport!!! The thing that makes all this rough water paddling possible, what allows us to push the limits of what has been done before and have more fun than should be legal while doing it, what helps us to access that deep visceral connection to play is... the people who you get to do all of that with, who support you in your growth and that you trust to save your ass in a tight situation. Yes, sea kayaking can be about the freedom to pick up and leave, off on our own and in charge of our own adventures. This freedom is something that I value deeply and am so often grateful for, but when I decide to go PLAY in some big water, surfing waves into beaches or over rock shelves, I know I will have so much more fun if I know I have my team watching my back...and my boat. ... nikkirekman.blogspot/2014/02/golden-gate-sea-kayak-symposium-2014.html?spref=fb
