  • It felt like the perfect day to kayak when we started the day but it ended up being too hot to kayak and it was really the calm before the storm. Nonetheless, we checked out some new places in the north of Hong Kong and it was completely expected. I will definitely revisit to kayak some more!

    It's amazingly calm water, plus quite "full" everywhere, not often seen! The air views were also great with high tide. The super calmness really exposed the swiftness of the surf-ski to fullness, (and of course any crafts could become faster.)

    Why do you have these warm clothes on when it's so hot? I paddle with only a swimshort.. i guess you have your reason, but white clothes will help as well, and something loose if it's not for water temperature.
    Looks awesome over there!

      Hehe yeah I definitely need to wear white but I told Stanley I look like a fat snowman haha. The sun is quite strong over here and we can get burnt pretty quickly so we all cover up quite a bit. Thanks for watching all the way from The Netherlands!
