I am just now recovering from an epic weekend on the Black River in Watetown, NY. There was a more casual competitive atmosphere than many other festivals, but there was no lack of quality kayaking and good times.Â

Coast to Coast in a Speeder
The Great Glen in Scotland is a beautiful part of the world, a fault line running diagonally across the highlands formed three long deep lochs (Loch Lochy, Loch Oich and Loch Ness) which were joined in the 1800’s by the Caledonian Canal, allowing boats to travel across the country from Fort William to Inverness. This seemed like the perfect summer mission for the Speeder.

Two Girls in the “Lechschluchten”
After a playboating session in the washing mashine (Augsburg) friday night, Birgit and I drove into the alps in order to run the Lech Gorge. I was quite exited, as it was my first time trying out the Ammo S and then two girls alone on difficult whitewater is always something special for me. We had a great time on the water and a perfect weekend.
In the beginning I was a little bit skeptical, what I should think of the Ammo, but after a few rapids I was faszinated. I have never paddeled a boat before, which is so easy to boof. The boat is light and easy to manoever. For sure it is short, but it doesn´t feel slow at all. This seems to be the right creekboat for girls. And still it is fun to play in it.
