If Scotland did freestyle…

Had a load of water through lately and felt like giving my Nomad a quick breather while I spent a day playing on the Orchy waves.

These waves are a little temperamental in terms of level as they need a lot of water and when that happens the road down the side of the river tends to flood, although it does drop very quickly once the rain stops so you shouldn’t be stuck for too long. The wave pictured below has no eddy service and is down stream of the main wave, walking up either bank is easy and worth it.

Not wanting to waste a load of energy, as the main wave is awesome, chilling in the car and munching some food while the river drops a bit is a good option. At the levels in the pics above you won’t get on the main wave in anything short of a surf boat, it’d be great fun if you have/could get your hands on one though!

Main wave being worth the wait and dishing out air! It has a nice little foam pile to catch you on some of the bigger moves but it isn’t the steepest thing around so having a boat with plenty of speed is a winner… if you have a crazy 88, it will rock your world here!

Helix’s and everything go on both sides once the foam gathers as the levels drops.

Beat that for a clean blunt gurn! I’ve mastered a new technique where I use my chin to lead moves :)

All in all another wicked day on the water to add to summer 09. Bring on a wet autumn and winter!

I love this site and just wish I was as smart as you guys but maybe I can at least give you a smile?

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

The next time you feel too lazy about brushing your teeth, flossing, or going to your
dentist for checkups, just think about how much of a shame
it would be to not be able to smile with perfect teeth. It is proven that an electric toothbrush
is much better to remove stains from coffee, cigarettes and
tea than a manual toothbrush. This perk also
addresses each members need such as softness, size etc.
