The past few months have flown by in a blur of awesome whitewater. April began with a stunning descent of the remote Ahensal river through the wildest parts of the Atlas mountains with Deb Pinniger, Nic Wimsett and the Shackleton Outdoor Program, and then a few days wave sailing in perfect conditions on the coast at Essouira.
May followed with high water, 100+ cumec conditions on the Soca river in Slovenia, one of Europe’s finest, as well as some late season, blue bird snowboarding.
Then came a quick weekend to surf the world famous Bitches wave in South Wales with Rosie, Deb, Olaf, Jens and the Adidas Proteam.

Then off to the Alps again, for some incredible late season paddling in Italy, and a superb month of high water kayaking and mountain biking in the French Alps.

An incredible few months of quality whitewater and fun times on the river. The next few weeks will be spent on the Mediterranean coast continuing my ongoing mission to learn how to wave sail, followed by a few weeks in Norway in August.
