Viking Profish Reload messy Orewa surf test

In this session I hit the water in less than ideal condition to test the Viking Kayaks Profish Reload kayak in some surf... hard to review the kayaks performance in this as it was just horrible conditions. when I arrived a realized this was going to be hard work, the land windsurfers were racing along the beach, kite surfers & windsurfers all having a bit of a hard time in the wind...my plan was simple..make it out the back at least once to catch a wave in and see how the kayak handles..the fact that it was an onshore made m feel OK about going out in this stuff on dusk, worst that could happen is i get blown back to the beach!..and that I did, again and again I tried to make headway against the waves and the wind to no avail, just hard work so after about 45mins of trying I packed it up..I think I got 400m off the beach at the furthest point...
