Playing in the Rocks | Online Sea Kayaking

You can read our full recap of filming on the P&H Sea Kayaks blog and check out the course on Online Sea Kayaking.

One of the most fun projects I've been part of recently: I got to team up with my dear friend and incredibly talented coach, Kelly Henry, to work with Simon Osborne on Playing in the Rocks, the rock hopping course from Online Sea Kayaking (OSK) created by Simon and James Stevenson.

The course was filmed in some spectacular rock gardens, from Cornwall and Anglesey in the UK to Marin and Mendocino here in California. Kelly and I paddled our P&H Virgos, and the filming gave us an excuse to spend hours playing close to, up, over, and around the rocks.

What the course covers

  • Reading the water along a rocky coast

  • Spotting hazards and choosing safe lines

  • Approaching slots, caves, and rebound waves

  • Playing close to, up, over, and around rocks, including drops and pour overs

Whether you're just starting to explore rock gardens or looking to sharpen your skills and decision-making, I hope it helps you get out there and play safely.
