I kayaked the twenty miles from the Isle of Whithorn in Scotland to the Point of Ayre on the Isle of Man to collect my brand new Big Pond Kayaks ‘Mannta’. I left my old kayak to be refurbished and I paddled my new one back the next day. It was a wonderful adventure.

Nick, I could watch this for hours, awesome. Everyday, every hour appears an adventure. Courage and conviction, your calm and confident strokes show you are at one. Let us know when you might take out some fellow paddlers for some real experience.Cheers Will D.

Well done Nick, so inspiring to watch. Bit scary how far west that tide took you but very glad you completed the trip safely. Loving the look of the new boat and also I like to see your set up on the deck and your camera positions. Keep going, your passion is infectious. Best, Reuben

Well done. Just found your channel, subbing. Love the British kayaks. I’m 63 I paddle a Volan 160, love it. I haven’t paddled the open water yet but soon. How old are you ? Again, nicely done !

Glad you made it but I'm glad not many people try that. There must be some hefty currents and waves.

I can't believe you did it!! So you should be pleased with yourself. That's amazing. I found at times I was forgetting to breathe, nervous for you in that lumpy sea....

beautiful boat! Wonder if you also have occasional lower back pain after paddling for hours? If so, any tips on how to mitigate/prevent? Thanks a bunch.

Why so long on the leash? New boat looks stellar? Good luck.

Dear kayaker friend: I hope, before the trip, you did a practice capsize with all the gear collected around the spray skirt's release loop. I noticed, upon landing, it took about 15 seconds to release the skirt. True, not hurrying as one would upside down. Yet there was a lot to be moved aside, which is likely more complicated when upside down. Aside from my obsessing over where the release loop was, I loved your meditative, solo journey.

Thank you for your concern. All is well with my system. I was on a year long kayaking journey and I have many years of kayaking experience. Best wishes.

How are the shoulders after a long paddle with the big blades? Useful couple of days training. All the best.
@NickRayLifeAfloat
@NickRayLifeAfloat Год назад
My shoulders are fine. I like the big blades for their power and the paddles themselves are so light, I don’t notice the effort. It was a good experience to remind myself of what I can do. All the best.

Thanks Jimmy, it was a slog for the last few hours but I was really impressed with the kayak. I’m not sure I’ll be making that crossing again anytime soon.

Your arms will get much less tired if you put more body rotation into each stroke.

Not really. I think it’s how you intend it to be useful. For my expedition paddling, this is the ideal length for me. It’s a personal choice.
