Whitewater Kayak in the Surf (Edisto Island)

// August 18th, 2009 // Charleston Watersports

Edisto Island’s underwater topography has a different gradient then its northern cousins, providing a shore break that’s got plenty of rodeo kayak potential for coastal-bound whitewater enthusiasts. Because Edisto isn’t the surfing hotspot that Folly is, you’ll likely have the waters mostly to yourself to practice your rolling and tumbling in the waves.
Directions from Charleston: Take Hwy 17 S for 25 miles to SC 174 (there are signs for Edisto Beach). Continue 20 miles south to the town of Edisto Beach.
