Snow boating

So we've rocked up at WT and the current water level is 9 on the gauge and the temperature is avreging at around 3 degrees.

A few teams are here already but due to the water level there hasnt been much training going on, the river needs to rise about 5 foot before mini bus come into effect, hopefully the river will start to rise on the weekend.
There's a few small waves to get wet on but nothing of any substance.
Updates on there way.

The Irish Marksman

Jackson Kayak are renowned for making exceptional whitewater kayaks, specializing in freestyle and down river boats. EJ's back round started with Slalom kayaking and so it made sense when Jackson Kayak came out with the 'Ricochet'.
We recently received the Ricochet, and today I took the little puppy for a paddle in the snow. It was fast, responsive and very easy to paddle, I am now going to dedicate my life to the art of Slalom.

Back down south

Well back in England and the water level seems to be holding nicely.
Sunbury's not quite Nile Special but it aint bad. Iv got my hands on one of those shiney new All Stars and what can I say 'the boat rips'.
I'll try and get some video up of Sunbury asap.
