Ive been out there in bad conditions.
Didnt know any better.
Saw water spouts in the horizon and thought "wow, cool!".
Then the wind stopped, and started blowing in the opposite direction.
Real hard, like 50 mph, 70 even.
Coolers full of beer were rolling down the beach.
The wind was so strong, it would twist my torso when it caught the paddle.
I couldnt keep my kayak pointed into the wind.
And when it turned, it made a sound. Whub whub whub!
WTF was that?, I thought, and then it started to tip.
When the wind caught the underside of the kayak, its made another sound.
Whooooosh. Whoooooosh.
And then it flipped.
I was upside down, in the seat, watching my gear hang on their leashes.
I flipped 2 more times in less than 5 minutes.
I thought I was going to die that day.
I'll save you the rest of the story.
The wind is no joke.
Be careful out there.
