River Living....
Well what a weekend! Pyranha fest held on the river Treweryn North Wales and was a full on weekend of paddling, paddling workshops, film premiers from the FatCat boyz (Ali, Si & Graham) and a great show case for Pyranha to launch there two new kayak models. Both of witch received great reviews from all who paddled them. The weekend started, for me with a trip to Gatwick Air port to pick up Mikey Abbott and Andy Philips, we all then missioned it across the UK, With Andy giving us a running commentary of tower blocks he’d scaled and random civil war battles (maybe you had to be there!)
(Professional to the end! Oral hygiene very important, Warrior style!)
The weekend ran well, the river was all open, for you to do your own thing plus courses ran both mornings and varied from group dynamics & advanced river running to freestyle and free ride, There was afternoon sessions, outfitting master classes, and a very interesting talk with Graham Mac about kayak design past and present. The Saturday party was quite a drunken affair but was a great place to meet up with old friends and chat, the new FatCat move was premiered and went down really well! And the Whitwater warriors gave an interesting talk about there travels with kayaks
Sunday started a little sloooooooow and unfortunately two really good guys for Norfolk got me to try to teach them Free ride techniques’ I really enjoyed this, but unfortunately one of the fella’s dislocated his shoulder. Once again I’m really sorry! And I’m sorry I’ve lost your number!!!! I hope the hospital was ok, hope your wife is not to mad!!!! But there you go! Another good random write up hope it makes some sense, next year I’m sure Pyranha fest will happen again and if you didn’t go make sure you do! And remember kids, don’t just play the river live it!
(have a go in the “New” Zone it’s a cracker!)
