Pawleys Island Kayak Race
In between looking at Pawleys Island Real Estate, you may want to either take a break and watch or maybe even participate in today’s local event. So with that being said …. On your mark … get set … GO! The Pawleys Island Kayak Race is today, July 18th 3:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. at the North Causeway in Pawleys Island. If you are interested in participating, you can go to Surf The Earth and sign up.
Did you know Kayaking is distinguished from canoeing by the sitting position of the paddler and the number of blades on the paddle? A kayak is defined by the International Canoe Federation (the world sanctioning body) as a boat where the paddler faces forward, legs in front, using a double-bladed paddle. Most kayaks have closed decks, although “sit-on-top” kayaks are growing in popularity, as are inflatable kayaks which come without decks but which have air chambers surrounding the boat. I personally prefer the “sit on top” kayaks and own a couple of them myself.
A Kayak race may not be your cup of tea, but I would suggest hopping in one with a waterproof camera and enjoy the creeks of Pawleys Island. There is so much natural beauty and wildlife. I love watching all the birds fly across the grasses waiting for their perfect catch! If you catch the tides just right, you can literally put in at a ramp while the tides are coming in, then float to one end of the island and then wait for the tides to turn and float all the way back. Talk about an easy breezy afternoon. It’s a great way to relax and to take a break from reality.
