Adventures to come...

I have found myself with a holiday and no water, or any real trip organised... a strange feeling indeed!

I have spent the kayaking famine organising the possible years trips. Been meaning to get over to France in Easter to go surf Hawaii-sur-rhone, amongst other things- was lucky enough to be over that way in the summer and there is so much potential in quite a small area- looking forward to the adventure already.

Also looking forward to the summer and a possible trip to the mighty Ottowa- I have been meaning to head back to Canada for many years to sample the joys of this whitewater playground.

And I need a surf trip somewhere- hmmm- one to work on!

All I need now is some water before I begin to loose my sanity- hopefully see you all on the water somewhere soon!

Summer Sessions at Millau

Spent a few days in Millau and had the chance to sample the whitewater course that runs through the centre of town. The course is real small, with only 1 drop worth playing on and as its the summer the hole is small and a real challenge to paddle- great fun!

Had 3 or 4 sessions with a small group of locals and the kids- really great bunch to enjoy a paddle with. Check out the video and if you are ever in the area go have a play!

Been out the past week trying out the new All-Star on what has been great Hurley levels- big and green at the start of the week- sadly the one day I took the camera it all went a bit rubbish! Still Finn got some decent shots of the session...

The boat is awesome- super loose and real easy to chuck around- can't wait for mine to arrive in the country!

Shop opening

Chris Brads is no longer working in the shop, having been offered an excellent position else where.
I would like to thank Chris for all is hard work over the last few months and wish him well for the future.

This has left us with no shop manager at the moment so we have taken the decision to shut the shop during the week.
I will open the shop on Saturdays between 10am till 4pm, any orders can still be taken by myself.
Please note that this saturday 19th the shop will not open until 12pm.

Please keep checking this page for updates, and I will put up a mobile number for contacting me.

Many thanks

Garry
