Weir “dly” enough we have been for a paddle!
With all the water last week we looked set to have a bumper week of paddling! But for some reason neither Sunbury or Shepperton really got them self up nor going, I think the reason for this was due to the pool levels. Both seamed to open fast and although we had plenty of water the EA seamed to let it all pass straight away.
But anyway we still had a great session on Friday Shepperton was on a funny flat 10 gates but the second wave was big and bouncy, if you could stay upright! After an hour there we shot of down to Sunbury for a quick look and to some of the groups surprise found it to be ok.
If you could get yourself over the eddy line of doom the wave was ok / a good medium level I would say. Over the next few day’s the river fell and although quite a good laugh in creak boats and C1’s it wasn’t ideal for the masses of play boaters watching from the side. Fast-forward to Wednesday night, slalom night and the return of a legend.
After some year’s absence from C1 slalom George has finally strapped himself into a boat again and started to train, down at the weir last night George and Mike cruised around making gates and perfecting there roll. Watch this space Div 1 again?
We had a customer ask us last week just how much paddling do we do! So here is last weeks paddling
Sunday / Surfing down on the south coast, Shoreham
Monday / Sunbury Pre work paddle
Tuesday / Sunbury pre work / Shepperton after work
Wednesday / Sunbury pre work / Shepperton after work
Thursday / day off paddling late night at shop

Not a bad weeks paddling! Keep an eye out for this weekend. Hurley Classic on Sunday and loads of rain forecast should be some rivers to paddle in Wales or South west. And the surf should be epic…..
