Put me down for freestyle. I've been training.

Maryanne · January 11, 2013, 17:22:17

I'm willing to compete in this, if someone else beats me to a spot I'll congratulate them and wish them the best of luck.

CormacR · January 11, 2013, 18:04:19

The opposite of what Maryanne said except for the first 6 words.

MarieH · January 11, 2013, 19:26:05

I'd be interested in this, and I'd be available for trials once we're back to college, maybe the weekend of the 26th would be best but whatever suits.

Tiny Tim · January 11, 2013, 20:17:22

yeah id like to give this a shot if possible

Nuala · January 11, 2013, 21:21:45

I'd be interested but am not available for any form of try out - so you are probably better off using someone else.

DervM · January 13, 2013, 14:22:23

Interested.

Curragower is still working. You should get some practice. I am back in Dublin. But try Eoin Keyes for a lift.

DervM · January 13, 2013, 18:46:20

Yup, been contacting around since I got home. Hopefully will get something out of it!

After the weekend I'm convinced (Maryanne was too) that a trial will definitely have to happen on Gower.

There's loads of water in the system at them moment ( probably a little too much) so it should be working right up to and including the competition date.

If I were to pencil in Sunday the 27th, is there anyone that wouldn't suit?
Gower should be working from about 11.30

Maryanne · January 15, 2013, 17:43:58

Sunday the 27th suits me.

Note:
Having a trial will mean far more than the 4 who'll represent us on the 10th will get to go out and experience the feature and be a part of the event, so that's great!

Also there is a definite knack for getting on the wave and it makes far more sense to work that out before the competition since that'd leave more time and effort available for actually getting out some tricks on the day.

As Niall said, the wave was at a more flushy (ie hard to get on or stay on) level at the weekend so while we'll hope it'll calm down a bit for varsities it is worth bearing in mind that this feature requires some know-how.

MarieH · January 15, 2013, 20:30:41

The 27th would suit me too. If anything, it would just be nice to try out a new river.

27th is good!
