Evolution of kayak surfing: I think surf kayaking is evolving very quickly, now with the new amazingly light Watertech boats I see even bigger and better airs becoming a regular thing.

Kayak surfing on the Channel Islands: Over the last 5 years it has really grown, now you would be hard pushed to head down to Vazon (main surfing beach in Guernsey) and not see a surf kayaker out there. The level is constantly improving and it is becoming quite a well known sport on the islands.
