Paddling 7 Deadly Sins

Rather be Paddling or ‘Addicted to Paddling’ ???

Attributes of a compulsive paddler

Lust:
You have a perfectly good boat but you always want the next new shiny model which may give you that edge to keep up with the pack.

Gluttony:
You’re lucky to have a collection of boats for all water conditions but you only paddle 1 or 2 while the others collect cob webs. Much to the dissatisfaction of your partner_ this subject seems to make it into most disagreements when you try to make a stand against a purchase she/he wants. You have no legs to stand on really….

Pride:

Paddling at Lane Poole Reserve

Has anyone paddled down at Lane Poole reserve recently? We were thinking of paddling Yarragil-Nanga Camp on Saturday and I was wondering what the water would be like.

WW: Statistics on River Levels

I ran some analysis on my archive of river levels tonight, to see if I could get some useful info on how far the river's going to drop before race day.

WW: Elders, and Why You Should Ignore It

(This started off as a reply in this thread, but it got a bit long so I've moved it to its own post under my secret identity as the Wandering Weatherman.)

Elders is useless as a forecast model.

Surfs Up

Lets have another forum for the surf paddlers out there. I have seen cameras out at my local breaks on skis, kayaks and play boats.

I can only kick this off with some pretty token surf videos, someone must have better footage, show us all. Unfortunately surf was not great on these days, but still reasonable length rides.

Some Token Millennium Waves
Some PRS Waves

Geegelup, Bridgetown, Footage

Someone had to post something here, so why not me.

The Geegelup Cup is held in Bridgetown a couple of weeks after Avon, 20th & 21st August this year, check CWA's DR calendar to be sure.

A great social weekend of white water paddling for those winding down from Avon. Good racing for those participating in the DR state titles too. Very good junior participation and support last year.

Here's some footage from a cruisey run I did last year. I know there is more footage out there, feel free to post more!
