Winter Has Arrived

The Endless Summer of 2019 has ended and winter has begun on the Mendocino Coast.

Due to the unseasonably warm and dry weather, we extended our Noyo Meander tour season into the fall. Kayakers who came out with us this fall were treated to the gorgeous colors, reflections, tranquility, and wildlife of the Noyo River in fall. Most days, we were the only people kayaking on Fort Bragg’s Noyo River. We definitely weren’t the only life though. Winter migratory ducks have arrived. The coho salmon have started migrating up the river to spawn. The salmon migration attracts the usual crew of harbor seals and river otters and this year a bald eagle has been cruising along the Noyo.

The remainder of the fall will continue to be beautiful and full of life on the Noyo; however, we are ending our Noyo Tours for the season. Come kayak with us on the Noyo next spring and summer when the Noyo is green and the days are warm and long.

For the Winter of 2019 - 2020, we will be offering kayak instruction. Sea kayak, whitewater river kayak, surf kayak, and kayak rolling lessons are available by private appointment after January 1. We have our tandem sea kayaks all spiffed up and will be available for custom sea kayak tours.

Contact us if you would like to schedule a private lesson or custom tour with us this winter.

Cheers,

Cate and Jeff

For 2019, Liquid Fusion Kayaking is stepping up their media with more video of their Mendocino kayak adventures. The first part of this process has been revamping LFK’s YouTube Channel - check it out and be sure to subscribe to see more from us.

It is hard to believe that we created our first Mendocino sea kayaking and rock gardening videos 10 years ago in 2009. Video quality and expectations have come a long way. As you peruse our updated playlists, you can watch some of our older videos. In our opinion, they are oldies but goodies. Take a look and let us know what you think.

The current goal for our YouTube Channel is to share fun, authentic videos of our kayak adventures on the Mendocino Coast and Eel River. We are working on a plan to add instructional content in the future. To see our unedited clips and what we are currently up to, check out Instagram and Facebook.

But without further ado - check out our 2 newest Mendocino Kayaking Videos. They are only 1 minute long. Turn on the sound.

Mendocino Kayaking Adventures
