Paddling Across The Straits Of Gibraltar. (Round Trip)

El 12 de junio de 2007 Trampalones organiza el primer doble cruce del Estrecho de Gibraltar en Kayak. Tras más de 9 horas de travesía los participantes alcanzaron de nuevo las costas españolas. Colabora la revista CO3.

Mi amigo, Jose Maria Donoso Buerba - "Los marroquies no nos dejaron desembarcar porque la patrullera que llevamos no hizo bien el protocolo de las banderas , a 400 mts de la orilla damos la vuelta sin descansar solo hacer pis en el agua , y de vuelta a la costa española , no sabiamos lo que nos esperaba a la vuelta de viento y corrientes , las olas rompian por todos lados solo llegamos la persona que va solo en la piragua con barba y nosotros , los demas los recogio la lancha , por cansancio heridas en las manos etc... Tuvimos una deriva de 16 kms aparecimos en una playa de algeciras."

SUP Boot Camp?

Some guys are just fucking dedicated. Where most see roadblocks, they see challenges. Unless you're in the ground, so stop whining, and get out onto the water.

Hello Joe.

What do you know?
This nice young fellow popped his head out of the water as I was about to go out for a paddle. Luckily, I had my camera. He decided that I wasn't a big fish, so he submerged. swam off and then surfaced a few yards away chasing a guy paddling an OC-1.
