I expect this sea kayak trip to have this difficulty and plan to paddle in up to these conditions (view the sea kayak difficulties definitions on our Activity Types, Difficulties & Prerequisites page):
- Difficulty: SKII - II+
- Wind: 0-10
- Waves: 0-1'
- Currents: 0-3 kts
- Distance: 7 nm
- Pace: current assist
Come see what the famous Narrows Bridge looks like from underneath! The spring currents will make this a fast and fun one way trip to visit the famous bridge at slack and then have lunch at Steamers before the shuttle back. Graduated students are welcome. Immersion wear required and you must have or have access to your own equipment.
