Big Dog kayaks

Wetspot has recently got its first shipment of Big dog kayaks, we have had the boats out a few times and have been very happy with them wetspot has 3 models the flux been a more playfull river runner, the force and more forgiving river runner and the dropzone creeker. These boats are good option if you are chasing a cheap creeker or a easy boat to get on the rivers. Big Dog kayaks retail for $1399

Cotter Playwave Sans Bridge

dihedral — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 23:26:31 +0000

Recent floods have indeed washed away the nasty low level bridge downstream of the Cotter Playwave, tis now safer until such time the bridge is restored. A few foggy pics (me doing the super tricky front and side surf play moves and Scotty acually playboating from yesterday morning, and a quick video.Worth getting on the wave at the moment for sure!

2011 River Rescue Course

dihedral — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 22:09:56 +0000

I was fortunate enough to attend Real Fun Adventure’s River Rescue Course run by Rohan and Nick last weekend. Course was a really great and was really nice to meet up with some new crew. I’m sure Im not alone in recommending this course to all paddlers old and new as both really useful and excellent value. Thanks again to Nick, Rohan for their time and effort and James and the Wetspot crew for organising Saturday night (even though I couldn’t make it). A few pics from day 1… forgot the cam for day 2 so if anyone took some shots of the scenarios/ wraps and pins they would be great to see!

Gudgenby River: Orroral Road Crossing to Naas Bridge

Bok — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 12:24:27 +0000

Back in early December we caught the Gudgenby at a good level. We paddled the steep (4/4+) section that goes around the base of Fitz’s Hill. It was a fun day of exploratory paddling. The map and river notes are at http://goo.gl/maps/xTqt.

A video is below.

A great afternoon had on an amazing stretch of river. Thanks again to a really great crew. Will be a pity if the dam expansion shortens or takes away this run as it really is a very special trip. Heres a few pictures from the day and a link to some video.

Great trip last saturday arvo (Lobbs approx. 2.05m I think), thanks James, Tom and Matt! Lots of fun had before the Wet Season officially moved from Darwin to South Eastern Australia. Looking forward to another trip soon. A few dodgy frame grabs and the video from the day.

Northern Holiday

dihedral — Sun, 28 Nov 2010 10:57:14 +0000

Nice to get back to Canberra and water. Whilst we were away managed to catch Never Never Creek (tributary of Bellinger River) at a runnable level after rain. Great and very scenic little run even if not exactly big water. Definitely worth a look if you find yourself in the area.
