A Nile Special…
Here’s a few photos (thanks to Claire, Gus, Jim and Jen (and me) for the photos) from my recent trip to the Nile:
I go all the way to Africa only to find everyone has got the same outfit as me!
It was tow on levels at Nile Special - low but still good fun and big air!
Front surf air!
JC uses the 'Harry Potter' tow-on technique.
Back stabbing on Nile Special
Low water levels meant club wave was running in the morning - a really fun wave but it was usually really busy. I timed my trip with just about every other European freestyle paddler!
Total Gunga rapid is no longer there:( (due to the dam work) and has been replaced by this kickflip/wave-wheel rapid. Its not quite the same!
Bujagali falls - look, no boat!
Silverback - looks a whole lot bigger from down there!
Silverback - spot the paddler no.1 (still upright - just)
Silverback - spot the paddler no.2
You can't go to Uganda without taking the obligatory 'boda photo'...
....and a sunset photo
The latest news on the dam is that the river should remain unchanged until April 2010 – so lots more opportunities to get out there and paddle!
Looking forward to getting back out there already!
