---BUS EATER IS IN---

Epic footage coming soon!

***Fluid Nemisis*** Its here!

So, Fluids new project the nemisis has just come fresh out of the mold with the first two production boats being tested today. They have definatly come out trumps with this one! The boat has an un-natural hull speed for its length, Heaps of Pop and sweet carving rails. looking foward to using it on bussy no end. Seth Chapell, Celliers Kruger and Myslef headed up the river today to get some shots of boat No. 1 & 2

Dont take my word for it, some of north-america's top paddlers have been saying that its the best boat on the market today....sweet

Wikid shots as always by Maggie Crocker!

Innercity Strife- NY, USA

So with a poor water leval on the ottawa and busy eddy line-ups. So with Kelsey Thompson, Jon Best and "Pringle".we made our way down to a premium leval innercity strife wave. On arrival, there were only 2 other paddlers there and they both moved on shortly after we arrived. we had definatly picked the best playspot in north america that day and to think...no eddy trafic! we were joined by Dustin Urban who put his own north-american spin to the wave.

...Still waiting for the Bus

So after kicking back the last few days we spent a proper session down the middle channel, taking our time to surf on all the waves on the way down. They are unfortunatly at that in-between leval and there is nothing big and bouncy on the river to train on. But there is always the bar in the evenings! Aparently bussy does not come in till 14ft and higher. The level is @ 9.5ft but we hear they are trying to fill the reserve upstream of us so as to try and garantee water for the event. Hopefully it ill be full in a couple of days time.

Peace out

Day 3 - Waiting for the BEAST

G'day everyone,

well not much happend today. Just waiting and hoping for sun and snowmelt. The boys got on the river today and paddled down the Main channel from Bus Eater down. Nothing of note...

I opted out of the on-water missions to meet a bloke about a house. Thanks very much Bryan who has surplied some of the fluid boys with a warm house (did i mention it was warm?)

anyways -am having a ball breaker tomorrow with any luck. lots of boating...i wonder if my fingers will fall of?? huh...will see...

Peace out.

World Freestyle Championships - 12.4.07

Bored @ Vancouver Airport

The boys checkin' out Bussy

So laim and i flew into ottawa late last night. stayed at a hostle. Erin was kind enough to pick us up and along with lachie we drove up to Wilderness Tours to check in for the 2007 WORLDS! Quickly dropping their kit, lachie, liam and james grabbed boats and trudged through the snow to the river. Liam and james meeting their freestyle hero's Patrick Camblin and Rush Sturges at bus Eater...unfortunatly the level is still to low due to it still friggin SNOWING! Im sure a couple of days rain or sun will bring the river up enough. It is currently 10.5 ish. anyways...ill get on the river when my boat arrives and the sun is out and the water is warm....well...dreaming!

Fear Canyon - Lynn Vally Falls, BC Canada

So, Liam Corr, one of the australian junior Freestyle paddlers also heading over to the worlds, joined me for what was to be a week boating in BC before flying to Ottawa. After some complications at the airport, he arrived 3 days late. cutting our boating time in half...sad... but atleast we got all the bad sh*#t out of the way at the start of the trip! With a large time limitation, we drove liam directly from the airport to a nice BC Classic creek run, Fear Canyon on the upper Elaho. Not a bad way to start a trip!! After a pretty solid swim, he finished the run unscathed and in good spirits...not many pics of the run (fingers too cold to push buttons on cameras!!) we then spent the next 2 days snowboarding in whistler and scouting out a few falls for next time before returning to vancouver for our flight...BC i will be back!!!

C'mon...balls... i need big balls....grrr (Adrian Kiernan)

Does it look any better from up there?, looks f*#% horrible from down here!!

World Freestyle Kayaking Championships - Taiwan

Ok, so im now very very bankrupt, and flying to canada, and have no work for a month and bit...why?
Because its the friggin worlds... thats why!...live life...

well im now in Taiwan getting ready to head to vancouver for a week of paddling at skookumchuck and creeking, then its off to the ottawa river for the worlds on the scariest wave i have seen...bus eater & gladiator! I cant wait!

I ordered a soup yesterday for dinner...determined that i was going to try authetic Taiwanise food, i walked into the only resteraunt that had no english on the menus. ordered by number a dish which had a very short title...i figured that a short name ment that is was plain and simple!
-Not to be -
when it arrived at my table the waiter gave me a "your not going to actually eat that are you!" look and proceded to stab the live octapus with a short fat metal knife. now dead...he left me to eat it. the flavor of the soup was great...kind of like miso and hot....but the now recently dead octapus just couldnt seem appealing! There were also rosted grasshoppers on a plate next to it (they are not to bad...tried them in uganda...salty)

Anyways, looking forward to getting some great footage to share with everybody back home!
