  • A morning paddle to Rangitoto Island organised by Terry from Auckland Canoe Club. Beautiful sunrise before it became cloudy. It was cold, in the 6 degrees C (43 F) at the beginning.
    I was paddling a Dagger Stratos 14.5, a nice little touring kayak.

      Next video will be another very calm smooth sea with the V10L, and then a very rough sea with the Riot Edge!

      Thank you. I enjoy paddling a surfski but when it gets cold a kayak with a closed cockpit is nice :)

      @@larscrantz It often gets so cold because it is around 6 degrees and then the wind is icy. I capsized two weeks ago because my right hand was like sleepy from the cold and I couldn't feel the shaft. I opened my hands to stretch my fingers and that was it, a 5mn swim in the swell!

    Nice trip. How long it's take one side to reach Rangitoto island from Auckland where you start?

      @@sajjadanwarnz Thank you. It is about one hour from Okahu Bay to Rangitoto ferry terminal. In all it was 14 km so 7 km one way. The shortest way to get there is from St Heliers, I think it’s 4.5 km.
