Travelling the world in luxury for less a week at a time

What To Wear Kayaking: Fresh Fashion Linkup 61

Fash Packing by SFH: What to Wear Kayaking FFF60

Hey guys! It’s Wednesday again! This week has flown by. If you happened to glance at my side bar last week you may have noticed that I took a quick trip across the ditch and spent a week in the North Island of New Zealand. If you are thinking of visiting the land of the long white cloud, check out my New Zealand travel essentials post for everything you need to know before you go. I usually share lots of outfit photos from my trips but to be honest most of what I wore in NZ was completely unworthy of sharing. Our week was a whirlwind of activity and outfit choices were dictated by comfort and practicality rather than style. But in the interests of keeping it real, I did decide to share something of what what I wore while I was away. Ever wondered what to wear kayaking? Well I don’t profess to be an expert on kayaking attire by any means but I can certainly show you what I wore. Read on for all the details …




 

What To Wear Kayaking

The last time I went kayaking it was a 6 hour tour and I got so burnt I couldn’t walk properly or wear a bra for thee days. This time I was not taking any chances. I slathered myself from head to toe in sunscreen and wore the only long sleeved shirt I had in my suitcase (also worn here). Of course shorts were a must. I mean no one wants to climb in and out of a fairly unstable platform or sit crossed legged in the sand in a skirt. Cue huge sunglasses to beat the glare coming off the water and while I did forget a hat, The Hubs let me share his …. Awwww 🙂 I had my swimmers underneath but I had no cause to use them as the water was absolutely freezing! The Hubs and some other crazy people did enjoy a brief dip. We kayaked from Hahei Beach to Cathedral Cove which is breathtaking and I was given a rather lovely rubber skirt and life jacket to wear. Now if that doesn’t scream style I’m not sure what does 😉

  5. Oh man girl lesson learned there! 🙁 I hope this time you didn’t get burnt. I learned by lesson about getting wet while going on a long kayak trip. It was the first time I went out with my husband and it was like a 3 hour kayaking trip (could have been longer…it sure felt longer). Either way, we had gotten out halfway to sit on a small beach for lunch so our hind ends got wet from getting in and out. By the end it was like pure agony – we both felt like we had diaper rash. It was pretty miserable. Like your kayaking style – both cool and functional. 🙂

    • Oh my! That would have been scary! Luckily NZ doesn’t have any animals that can hurt you (unlike Oz lol) so we felt pretty safe out there ?

  11. I actually love this post! I like to see what people wear in all aspects of life. I did a post this year “What I Wore Camping” and it got a huge amount of hits.

    • Thanks so much Amy that is really good to know. Every day The Hubs was like are we taking outfit photos today and I would look in the mirror and go ‘ah no seriously lol at me’ lol. We lugged the camera all that way and took none. These were taken in 10 seconds flat with an iPhone but I did want to keep it real and show that sometimes it’s OK to just not worry about what you are wearing lol
