Abundant rain turned the normally placid Vaal into a big volume river. Dave, James, Laura, BD, Heather, Dash, Alun, Bryden and myself headed of, a little skeptical about the level, to go paddle. When we arrived it was round 300 and dropped somewhat through the day. After looking a Theater and Gatsien at the take out it was decided to run from the normal putin to Theater. Big-daddy lived up to it's reputation with massive waves forming providing the "Kid at Christmas" syndrome. The rest of the river was largely washed out, with a few nice wave trains and sneaky holes to provided extra excitement. After the run, we headed of to the town play wave where Dave, James and myself worked on our rodeo skills in this awesome wave. Paddlers all around had gathered and we where treated to some awesome paddling by some of the countries best.
All round a great trip,
P.S don't complain about the rain!
