A tiny bit of footage from a sunny pots last week

It was a lush day, the sun was out and the level was perfect. I didn't take much film but heres some of the best bits.

Pots when its high

I had a good session at flowerpots today. The Exe was still quite high (10.1), flowerpots was just lower enough to be a hole with shoulders either side. The hole was fairly stable but the current coming down the weir was so quick that it was hard to stick moves. The eddy line gave me a bit of grief but nothing too bad.

The Upper Dart

Tuesday afternoon I had a hour on top wave in a playboat and then met up with big Rupert and crew to do the Upper. There was alot of rain in the morning and the river had come up to a level covering the whole ledge and was just off running through the third arch. I borrowed a creek boat off Rupert, which I was grateful for however.... the seat was totally knackered, there were many spilts in the bottom of the boat, one of which you could see the seat through and the drain plug was a small piece of foam shuffed in the hole. It was fine, I just had to empty the boat every 15mins. Mad mile and Euthanasia were really good fun, although not as technical as when its lower.
