how's your paddle fitness? Reckon you can make it back in if the wind picks up from the west and starts blowing you out amongst the container ships?

Is your kayaks capabilities up to the big swells and winds that you might encounter? Unless you have a fair bit of time in a yak already, I would not recommend tagging along with other more experienced yakkers.

Stick to the estuaries around the Sunny Coast. You can still catch a quality feed and much less likely to die.

Sorry to be doom and gloom, but my reasons are a little selfish. Sooner or later someone will go out deep chasing the big one, being inspired by reports and tv shows of yakking offshore, and get into trouble and die. Then the government will, in a knee jerk reaction to the fatality, impose unworkable and ineffective laws to keep us all "safe."

my paddle fitness is pree high but im getting a hobie adventure island so paddling isnt n issue its more pedalling the issue

as long as you feel comfortable with your ability to get back in one piece if the conditions deteriorate. If you jump on akff or kfdu there are sunny coast locals that head out regularly and won't mind a tag along.

so paddling isnt n issue its more pedalling the issue

Remember pedals can fail, just ask Dan25
