Weekend of March 14th through the 16th the annual Kayak Festival was held at the Santa Cruz Lighthouse. This is a photo essay of the event; all pix taken early Sunday morning under clear skies, early sun and excellent wave conditions.

Leo Maxam's blog has great coverage of the event, and some discussion of surf kayakers riding at board surfing breaks. Rather than try to cover this angle myself, or to recapitulate Leo's story, here's the link to The Green Room where you can read Leo's words yourself.

The rest of this column is a collection of photos by DogMan from the festival on Sunday morning. Enjoy.

CU Out There,
