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.

The New 2007 All Star!

The new 2007 All Star is proving to be a big hit.

Harry Cox arrived four days ago on the Hairy Lemon, with a brand new All Star. My eyes lit up at the sight of the new boat... ...I have now stolen Harry's boat, and he's not getting it back!

The performance of 2007 All Star on a wave is living up to all the hype! It has a faster hull speed, is looser, releases better for a bigger pop, and is very forgiving, particularily when landing big moves. The All Star has been ripping on Nile Special and Mutt's Nutts and I am continuing to discover all of the boat's potential! I have not yet tried the boat in a hole, but I am sure it will live up to all of my expectations.

Africa life

Africa has amazing whitewater, but the people stand out as well.
Here are some photos of local life.
