Blog about our journey into the world of Sea Kayaking. Why "New Underwater Shoes"? Well a few years ago whilst out open canoeing on Coniston Lake, we overheard two young children talking. One had clearly just been brought some new paddle shoes and the other one asked "How are your new underwater shoes?". Since then we always refer to our paddle shoes as "New Underwater Shoes"

Lesson on Windermere
Today
we had a private lesson with Windermere Canoe and Kayak , this gave us chance
to receive some feedback on our techniques and learn some new skills. We also
tried a peer to peer rescue with Tina playing the part of the person in the
water (I’m going to have to take on that part soon). It took a long time before
she was able to get back in the kayak. We need to practice that a lot more until
we get slick at it. We did not use our own kayaks today but used hire ones from
the shop, I think this convinced us both that we have made the right decision
with the ones we brought. The kayaks we had were OK but they both had things we
did not like compared to our own. All in all it was another great day and Paul ,
our instructor, was really helpful.
