New Boats

Hey, I am currently looking to buy two new boats!
Am firstly looking at a Freestyle boat; been looking at the Jackson All Star and Project 52. Am trying to pick one up second hand.
Then am looking for River Runner/Creeker. I like the look of the Jackson Hero and the Dagger Mama. And will again try and pick these up second hand.

Then will need to sell my Perception Blaze.

Surf Kayaking

Had a go at Surf Kayaking last weekend. The waves look bigger when your sitting in your boat. Had a good session but got dumped a few times upside down. I am to light for my boat so the bow of my boat kept diving and hitting the sand. Was good fun though.

Blades Freestyle

Went down to Chertsey Weir with the Blades Freestyle Group last Wednesday. Had good fun but had 3 swims which wasn't good. Need to set up for longer before swimming if I am to progress. Paddled a Dagger Agent 6.2 which is a lot shorter than what I'm used to. Thus took a swim off a seal launch. Not good :(
Will hopefully get to go down again soon!

Blades Freestyle

I have now joined Blades Freestyle club to start up Playboating so will get to go down to the weirs a lot more!

UPDATE

Sorry, this Blog has not been updated in a while forgot about it.
Had a good winter of paddling on various trips to the Dart, Exe/Barle and the Usk.
I have now learned to roll.
