Ndaqala ndema kwibhodi yokusefa umoya ngentwasahlobo ka 2022. Ndandihamba i-kayaking ngaphezu konyaka kwaye ndacinga ukuba ndiqinile emanzini. Wabona umntu etyibilika enqumla echibini ngeseyile wacinga, inokuba nzima kangakanani? Yibhodi yokubheqa nje eneseyile, kunene?
Emva koko ndachitha iiyure ezine emanzini.
Umhlobo wam wandisa kwindawo yokurenta. Umfana wabuza ukuba ndifuna isayizi yeseyile engakanani. Ndithe, “Ndinike enkulu.” 6.5 square metres. Impazamo yokuqala. Uzamile ukungena ebhodini - wancamathela, isilevu sabetha uloliwe, wangena ubuso-phambili. Yanyusa iseyile - yabanjwa ngumoya, zatyibilika iinyawo, umva wentloko yam ubethe amanzi kuqala. Imini yonke yayilungile “yima → yiya iimitha ezimbini → ngena.” Uwonke umgama owawugutyungelwe ngaloo mini? Mhlawumbi amashumi amahlanu eemitha, ukuba udibanise yonke.
Kodwa ndabuyela kwimpelaveki elandelayo. Utshintshelwe ku-a 5.0 iseyile - indlela elula. Ngeli xesha ndibukele abaqhelekileyo malunga nemizuzu engamashumi amabini ngaphambi kokuba ndingene. Baqaphela ukuba babengayitsaleli iseyile phezulu ngamandla akhohlakeleyo. Bayiphakamisa imasti ngokukhawuleza, vumela umoya uzalise iseyile ngokuthe ngcembe, emva koko tsala i-boom. Ndizame ngokwam. Yashukuma ibhodi. Cotha, kodwa yashukuma. Yenze ukuba iimitha ezilishumi elinesihlanu phambi kokuba umoya undilahle kwakhona. Kodwa ndeza ndincumile - kuba bendiye *ndaweni ithile.
Waya qho ngempela veki emva koko. Ubone izinto ezimbalwa endleleni. Ukungena ebhodini - awukwazi ukungxama. Hlala phantsi kuqala, uze utsale iinyawo zakho phakathi. Ndithathe ishumi elinambini lokuzama ukulungisa loo nto. Ngalo lonke ixesha uwisa i-daggerboard, okanye ujonge phezulu. Kwaye into yokuqala omawuyenze xa uflip-yiyeke i-boom. Ndayifunda kabuhlungu loo nto, ukujinga nokurhuqelwa ecaleni ngelixa uginya isiqingatha sechibi.
Gear-wise, Ndenze yonke impazamo. Uthenge ibhodi esetyenzisiweyo 200 bucks off app - ijongeka kakuhle kwiifoto, kodwa ngaphantsi ineengqayi ezimbini ezinzulu, ezimanzisa amanzi okwemfunxa. Ndayikhupha kwirokhi yam yophahla ngenye imini ndayiwisa enzwaneni yam. Ilahlekile isikhonkwane. I-seil battens - ndandingayazi indlela yokuyisonga ngokufanelekileyo, bagobe ababini beyifaka ebhegini. Amashumi amane eerandi nganye yokubuyisela. Ibhatyi yokuphila rhoqo? Yayiminxe intamo qho xa ndijonge ngasemva ndijonge iseyile. Tshintshela kwi-kayaking-specific one, ubusuku nemini umahluko. Ikhusi elangeni? Ndiyilibele kanye ngemini enamafu - imbonakalo yamanzi yaqhotsa intamo yam, ixotyulwe okwenyoka.
Andinalo uluhlu olukhulu lwamabala. Abaqalayo kufuneka babethe amachibi akhuselekileyo - ukuzola, umoya ozinzile. Amanzi asezantsi asebenza kwakhona - amanzi athambileyo, impepho ezolileyo. Ndazama ibheyi yaselunxwemeni kanye-ayikhangeli itafile, wabhanga eludakeni akuba emkile amanzi. Wahamba amakhulu amahlanu eemitha ethwele umbhobho wonke, ulahlekelwe yimbadada. Ungaze usondele kwimilambo ye-canyon - umoya udlula emaweni kwaye ujike ube nesiphithiphithi. Yiloo ndlela ogqiba ngayo ujikeleze ilitye.
Ndibuyele kwichibi lesiqhelo ngeCawe ephelileyo. Umoya wawulungile - ungenamandla kakhulu, ayikhaphuki kakhulu. Wahamba ngenqanawa iiyure ezimbalwa, emva koko wawisa iseyile, wahlala ebhodini, ndalayita icuba. Ilanga emqolo, amanzi enyakazisa ibhodi, abambalwa abahamba ngeekayaker kude kude. Ndacinga ngaloo mvakwemini yokuqala kwiminyaka emithathu eyadlulayo - isilevu sagqabhuka, umlomo unencasa yomhlwa, bezibuza ukuba kutheni umntu ezakuhlawulela le ntuthumbo.
Ngoku ukuba umntu uyabuza ukuba kufanelekile? Ewe, yi. Hayi ngenxa yokuba ndilungile - ndingaya ngqo, yenza ujiko olusisiseko oluphezulu, kwaye ndisasilela kwiinzame zam zokuthoba umoya malunga namaxesha asixhenxe kwalishumi. Kodwa loo mvakalelo-xa ubetha ikona elungileyo, iilifti zebhodi kunye neenqwelomoya, amanzi abaleka ngaphantsi, Umoya wenza umsebenzi ngelixa ulungelelanisa - akukho nto ifana nayo. Akufani nokubaleka apho ugalelwe khona igesi. Akunjalo ukukhwela i-kayaking apho ubethelela yonke istroke. Nguwe nje nomoya ucofa okomzuzwana, kwaye akulula.
Musa ukuthenga izixhobo ezintsha ngaphandle kwesango. Renta amaxesha ambalwa. Qinisekisa ukuba ngokwenene ukonwabela ukuba manzi kwaye ukhathazekile phambi kokuba ulahle imali. Ndidibanise yonke iseti yam esetyenzisiweyo - ibhodi, hamba ngesikhephe, imasti, i-boom - zonke zingaphantsi kwamakhulu amahlanu eerandi, ngaphandle kwebhatyi yokhuseleko endiyithenge entsha. 160-ilitha yabaqalayo ibhodi, 5.0 hamba ngesikhephe, imasti yealuminiyam. Wenza umsebenzi. Ukuba umtsha, hlala kude neeseyile ezinkulu kunye neebhodi ezibhityileyo. Awuyi kuwalawula, baya kukulawula.
Ukuba ungena kuyo, ndiyathemba ukuba uginye amanzi amancinci kunam. Kwaye xa upakisha - songa ama-battens ecaleni kwegophe lawo. Ungabanyanzeli. Ndiyazi ukuba okokugqibela kumava obuqu.
