I took Eva out Kayaing today. It was her first time on her own in her own kayak. I used to take her and let her sit in her own boat but would tow the boat around. that would at least give her the feeling of being in her own boat. However, now she is old enough to do it on her own.
She used Allison’s kayak but it is nice and small so it is perfect for Eva to use. We went out early to Great Pond and paddled around in the shallows until Eva got some confidence and it felt right to her. She picked it up quickly and had a lot of fun. By the end she didn’t want to stop paddling and she had gotten much better in her skill. However, we had to get back because the kids had swimming lessons today.
Eva will be in one class and then Andrew and Dylan in another. Kylie is supposed to be in another class but she take the class with Andrew and Dylan. Somehow she conned the lifeguards to let her go on the surfboard after class. That turned into all the kids getting a ride on it and then being able to jump off. They had fun. We spent the bulk of the afternoon out on the beach and had a nice time.
Agree with you, kayaking is a lot of fun. Thinking to take my boy for the same and prep him slowly as you did. have you tried surfing with eva?
I have not tried surfing. We aren’t in a surfing area, though.
