British Selection 2006

Just a week after British Champs came the 2006 British Team Selection held at HPP, again another great weekend seeing some awesome rides on the top hole and Muncher, I made 3rd place on the team, an important 2 weeks over and some great results for the record.
Check out UK Freestyle for the full results.

Canada Update

Canada is awesome, at the moment the Ottawa is on level 0 which means the Garb is turning green, its still good to catch but it'’s getting harder to retain moves. Left side is good most moves go and baby face has turned a tad flushy, corner wave is still good. We hope the level will go down soon.
I had a bit of an epic with my kayak the other day, I had tied my boat to a trailer to get to the put in, when we got there I found by boat trapped in between the trailer and the ground when I turned the boat over the I found a hole about 30cm wide in bottom right hand side, the boat had dragged on the road all the way from put in to take out and melted it clean, not good. I'm borrowing an All Star at the moment until I get my new boat, it should be coming this week. The river'’s pretty busy at the moment but I think its only going to get busier as it nears the world cup.

We did an over nighter trip to the Gatineau to surf a wave called High Tention, the wave was at its best we had an awesome time, check out some pics.
