Another great place to push your sea kayak control and skill? Tide races. This natural phenomenon of fast-flowing tidal currents is caused when an incoming our outgoing tide is forced through a narrow passage or past obstructions, such as a headland or island, can be dangerous. But with the right conditions and technique, tide races are the perfect place to take your surfing skills to the next level.
Top tip: Use a rudder stroke to help control your angle whilst on the wave, and focus on accelerating your sea kayak at the right moment in time.
