Phil MacDonnell explains the thrill of sea kayaks.
Transcript
00:00We're at Dowers Lake, beautiful location just a little bit north of Batemans Bay
00:05Fantastic spot for any sort of paddling for us. We've got stand-up paddle boards
00:09We've got sit-on-top kayaks and sea kayaks. We love getting out in any sort of paddling here on the lake
00:14It is a beautiful spot for learning the first time. If you've never paddled before
00:19Then a sit-on-top kayak is lovely stable and with proper instructions
00:23You'll have a wonderful time. Stand-up paddle board is a little bit more adventurous
00:27So anybody who wants to try out the stand-up paddle boards
00:29you just need to be aware of your balance and we give you lots of tips to try to make sure that you have a
00:33good time and
00:34Sea kayaking, we do sea kayaking more on the ocean than on the lake
00:38But we do both use the boats here as well as out on the ocean
00:41We do hires as well as tours so we take people out and we also do
00:45Tuition so anyone who is interested in learning to be better a better paddler using their own equipment
00:51Or if they want to use our equipment to learn and then go off and buy equipment for themselves
00:55This is a great spot to do that. The lake is a
00:59Coastal estuary surrounded by a national park. There's no housing or development up on the lake
01:03So it's a beautiful natural area and lots of wilderness and wildlife here. So it's just a gorgeous spot
