Three days on the Dart

Well, with time off over the Festive period, and a reasonable amount of water in the rivers, it could only mean one thing. Time to get paddling.

It all kick off on the 30th Of December. With a good amount of water in the Dart it was a long awaited top wave session. As Usual all the regulars were there. The Eddy was a bit small, and swirly, but everyone had fun.

Then as the river Level started to drop off a few of us paddled down to the Triple Three wave. It was on the high side for the wave, but it provided plenty of fun.

Then it was Back to the Dart again for New Years Eve. We had a Mega 13 boat Team for a mass descent of the Upper. The river had dropped off a bit since the Day before, but there was still enough water for a good paddle. We pretty much Freight Trained it down the upper, barely stopping, but having a good laugh along the way. When we got to New Bridge most people got off the river, but some of us weren't satisfied and swapped our creek boats for play boats and charged on down the river to get to The Triple 3 play wave. It wasn't quite as big as the day before, but the wave was still good enough for some great playin'. With a great range of surfing, spinning, bouncing and blunting.

Then on New years day it was back to the Dart again. With many people feeling rough, it was another Play session at Triple. The river had held onto the water well, and there was still enough of a wave for everyone to pull off their favourite moves. The more we paddled the dafter we became. With a captive audiance on the bank the tricks got more and more old skool, with hand paddling, paddle spins, shudder rudders, air guitars and any other daft trick that could be thought of. The guys on the bank took lots of photos, and tried to direct us to a website where we'd find them,but as yet we've been unable to find any. Boo Hoo!
