Peter O'Sullivan:
I am eager to get to Stackallen some day the level is up. Its here for those who aren't sure

https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Stackallen,+Ireland&hl=en&ll=53.684988,-6.605744&spn=0.002929,0.008256&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=62.70117,135.263672&oq=stackalle&hnear=Stackallen,+County+Meath,+Ireland&t=h&z=18

It can either be a park 'n' play or a river trip. Two questions I have are. Anyone know what level it needs to be on what gauge to be retentive/surfable? And same again for Slane weir?

I would also like to run the trip as a training session with about half the intensity of the Clifden trips over the summer.

Lastly a bit of video of whats possible on the Boyne

Steven Mul:
This sounds really good! I'd love to come along on such a trip!

MarieH:
I wouldn't mind giving this a lash

Diarmuid:
Yes please!

Peter O'Sullivan:
There is this gauge http://hydronet.epa.ie/stat_89691.htm?entryparakey=W and when I was there on Saturday the level was 0.701 or about 15.4m^3/s and that was too low for surfing Stackallen wave.

There is also this gauge at Slane Castle http://waterlevel.ie/0000007012/0001/week/ it was about 0.78 when we there and there was no stopper at Slane weir. So back to the original question.

What level do the different features work well at?
