It's tough.
yeah GrampaC, obviously it s the second option.
I tried a few days on flatwater, cartwheeling, backdeck rolling etc, it's never a waste of time, but I am eager to get out on to the river.
problem is enda wont come out on flatwater. so today, first day at nre we went out to backwave - just at the campsite. there's lots of little tiny waves and holes and stuff to play around in just besie the wave, but nothing was sticky enought to surf. so enda went off to try surf some where that i thought lookd far too rocky, and i had told him that we dont surf that cos it's too rocky. he didnt listen. he got a wee fright.
but im so worried that we get to total gunga - a river wide rapid with the famous hole of doom, g-spot - and that he's gonna padldle straight into it cos it's looks cool on the vidjo in the bar, y'know???
arrrrgh.
anyway, he had a talking to from some other paddlers here, but he doesnt change...
anyways, see yis all out here soon x x x x
ps. changed order for helmet cos happy2b not doing custom anymore. think they could have told me??? just charge the visa card and not do anything about an order they cannot fill. anyway.... so upshot is gettign wrsi helmet shipped from states to ciaran. thanks for all your help thought cian! bottle waragi comin home fro ya!
