Boulters Bad Boy...

Mr Laycock sent this into us yesterday. The new improvements seam to be working very nicely. Much faster and more dynamic then Hurley but smaller then Shepperton & Sunbury. Bring o0n the rain.

Down on the River....

This week we have all mainly been down at Shepperton, Morning, Noon & Night, the water has been a funny old level. The week started with Shepperton on 7 then 6 which made a super fast flat wave, not to good for the slow new play boats but fantastic for the old Pyranha SBT, Tuesday the wier dropped to 5, but the weir pool has finally come up wihich has stabilized the wave a lot. And now you can pop fat air in anything again. Terrific, and all 5 minutes from me house. Sunbury however is still a littel low @ 1 and a half at present and produceing a hole that is sucking the leaves off near by trees!!!!! (didn't go in). Stay tuned for any level changes or give us a call if you're desperate. congratulations to my mate Rich and his very beautiful girl friend Sarah, who have just got engaged.

Maybe Baby.

Well done!
