This is for my last weeks worth of trips out to the lake. One common thing about them (including today) is the speed of the waves moving across the lake. They’ve been slow enough that on my way North I can actually “surf” them, and it seems to make for a quick trip to the North end. I haven’t actually timed it yet, and I’ll have to do it over a number of trips to really see if my impression is right.

If I match speed with the ripples, then slow down just slightly until I’m tipped slightly “forward,” I can then paddle somewhere between gently and moderately vigorously and ride the wave for five to ten seconds before it either moves sideways from under me or I get behind it. And then repeat! Not as impressive as kayking in the surf of the Atlantic, but hey, this is fresh water and local.
