Shepperton Weir 28/02/10

Went down to Shepperton Weir today. It was on a holey 7 gates; wasn't a particularly good level but was fun all the same. Lots of time spent doing King of the Wave which was a  great laugh. No big moves really from anyone, no loops, mcnastys etc. Only moves I was getting were flat spins and crossovers. Seemed to be old-school boat day today, everyone bringing down their classic playboats.

See you on the water! :)

HPP February 10

Went down to HPP in Nottingham for the February half term for 4 days - Tuesday to Friday. Had a great time although was rather cold camping especially when the stove brought doesn't work in these cold temperatures!! Did very long sessions each day, perhaps too long and as a result was already knackered each day before even starting. Also didn't drink enough Coke which led to getting ill Thursday night and being unable to paddle Friday. Got quite a few moves wired in each of the holes with my favorite features being the Inlet Gate, 2nd Hole and the Tardis. Also managed to get my loops working pretty well in the Inlet Gate. Spent a fair amount of time in Jonny's 2010 All Star which I was getting much bigger pop from and therefore bigger loops, it was also easier to plug due to its shorter length.
Had a bit of an incident on the way home with a boat .....

All in all a great time and I look forward to more trips there, hopefully in warmer weather :D

Video should hopefully be up soon once I get round to editing it!!

Hurley Weir 07/02/10

Went down to Hurley weir on Sunday 7th February for the first Hurley session of the year. Had a great time, it was on a holey 3 and I had a lot of rides. Had a go in Jonny's 2010 All Star which I found a lot looser and easier to chuck around than the 07 model i currently have. Managed to get my flat spins working on my left hand side, want to work more on being able to sustain the wave for longer and be able to move around it better. Then after that start working on the Roundhouse/Blunt :D

Here's a quick video of the day :)
