This weekend gone I was at britains premier river festival, the Wet West Paddle Fest... and along with Bob McKee and Ben McKeown, was as Tommy might put it 'Representing' on the Mighty Morriston.

I thought I'd share some of the photos.

I think he's finished his boofstroke and has it face down (with the front angled up a tiny bit) as he's reaching for a landing stroke.

Looks backwards to me too - IIRC the Rough Stuff logo is only on the power face, their name is on the other one (at least on my Savage C1 - great stick BTW).

Nice images - glad to hear about the fun out your way 8)

Looks like it's working for him!

Hey, somebody has to be first to invent the curved-the-wrong-way hockey stick, maybe in 10 years we'll all be paddling with reversed curves and Bob will be saying "I told you so, you class II lame-oes".

Pat.

Yes but not that day.

There's a f**k-up rock just under the water, next to the big one. the slide line is much easier, but needs a bigger dam release :(
