Day 3 of Surf Zone and Beyond. Open coastal journey.

We'll need to traverse the surf zone (we'll go if waves are predicted to be 4 foot or less), then navigate around a reef break, then paddle along the open coast by kelp fields and rocky beaches, past towering sea stacks, and finally go through sea caves to a beautiful lunch beach.  After eating, we'll see if we can enter the "green room".   Finally, we'll head back the same way we came and see it all from another angle.

Participants shall have taken: A surf zone clinic, a rock gardening clinic,  strokes and maneuvers) clinic, and currents clinic, and an incident management clinic before going on this journey.
