Klip Kayak

Daav and I headed down to the "crogan" river on Saturday, which by all accounts could have been time better spent. The klip water was cold and smelly, although the cold gave it the illussion of being clean. It was awesome to see what the floods early this year has done to the river; new channels, massive tree blocks and debris deposited impossibly high.
Our intended purpose was to play at the infamous (maybe innotfamous) klip wave. It's wasn't all that bad except it was a tad cold, and shallow. However after this years awesome water, a little hole on a cold river is somewhat overrated.
None the less the klip is still cool for beginners kayakers, paddling for a laugh and racing. The playwave is awesome for learning to spin, I'm sure as winter progresses this wave will seem more and more appealing.

I second that... all of it...

Bring on the racing - Katrina's itching for a bit of klip action...
