Every kayaker needs to try this! | Kayaking on the California coast
Oct 29, 2025
In this episode of Paddle Tales, I've hooked up with Jeff and Cate from Liquid Fusing Kayaking in Mendocino, California, to do some kayak surfing and rock gardening in the rough waters of the Pacific. I discovered one of the ultimate natural playgrounds!
