Big Boat Bonanza

Never mind the Green Race, everyone knows that Ireland’s Big Boat Bonanza was the place to be last weekend…well for the party at least. A strong Team Pyranha contingent made their way to the bone dry Wicklow Mountains for yet another weekend of Guinness and carnage. Alan Ellard, Liz Bell, Bob Campbell, Ally Collett, Loz Brown, Deb Cook, Bob Marchant and Richard Brooks made the journey from the UK, meeting up with long time team pyranha members Kipper Maguire and Ali Donald.

Well paddling is officially back on in full force on the West Coast. We are experiencing what they are calling the 100 year flood. Rivers are all setting record levels. Houses are flooding, dams are blowing out, cars falling into rivers and a few of us idiot kayakers are trying to paddle.

Fall Buseater

I got the chance to catch the Ottawa river’s world famous Buseater wave this fall. With rumors of the river rising, I decided to stake it out and see if the wave would come in. After a week of waiting, I was rewarded with some of the biggest air I’ve ever caught.

Pyranha Team members and friends at the Green Race 2006 (with pictures)

 

I was stoked to see so many Pyranha team members out there racing and see so many Burns tearing it up! The Green Race was a huge success this year with a record breaking 126 racers!
We are very lucky to have such a perfect river to have an event—classic class V rapids, no portages, reliable water, and access for those who want to watch the action.

High Fashion and Old School Boats – The Tyne Tour 2006

The weekend just passed saw Jamie and myself head over to Hexham, Northumberland for the annual Tyne Tour to show off Pyranha’s fleet of demo boats. With over 1000 paddlers turning up there was lots of hardcore socialising to be done.

We ended up enjoying ourselves so much in the bustling trade stand area that we never quite made it onto the water, but as anyone who has been to the event before knows, its not really about the boating. I don’t know how we managed to fit it all in, handing out demo boats, answering questions, meeting up with friends from all over the country and beer drinking but we did and Jamie even managed to find some time to go kit shopping…

Jamie Burbeck goes old school
Jamie has recently been inspired by Trinny and Susannah’s “What Not to Wear”. He felt that the Tyne Tour was the perfect place to get inspiration for his new look.

Wet Wet West Coast Scotland…

The Annual Scottish Canoe show in Perth, Scotland bought the ideal opportunity for me to hook up and boat with Scottish local paddler Cam Allan for a couple of days. It also gave Cam chance to put the medium sized Ammo through its paces.

Holtwood action

Well the rain has brought the Susquehanna river up and the Holtwood section has gotten some use. Holtwood is a great spot and everchanging the hydro dam can change the water level several feet in just a few minutes. This area serves up some great rides. check out
