Welcome to denisanic.com!

So here they are, two short clips of an exciting bitty on the Kolbäcksån.

Phu, finaly the flood was perfect for some creeking, simple enough for paddlers used to creeking, but for me fun enough.

Saturday gave us fun in the sun. No clouds in the sky, 60 cubic flowing out in to the Sörkvarnforsen in Hallstahammar and 4 happy-go-lucky kayakers. Lisa, Johan, Tobias from Eskilstuna and myself hit the rapids at around 1330 and I didn’t come out until 1630, it was just one of those days.

We found a little wave that everyone could surf at the end of the middle rapid, at the take-out and we took a few runs down the not so straight-on rapid. Portage sucked, as nettle has really hit the bloom, that plus those blood-thirsty mosquitoes.

By the time everyone had their share of surf and runs down the rapid, Johan and I changed into larger Wavesport Y’s and opted to do a run on the left side of the lower Sörkvarn, down two chutes and a few stoppers. One of them took me on a little sideways trip I didn’t anticipate, but it being a gentle stopper, it didn’t bother me one bit. Johan was surprised though, he thought I was of for a surf when I was supposed to run it first. He manged down just fine though and we opted to do another run. Tobias, mobile cam handy, captured both our runs so will post those as soon as I get hold of the film.

That sums up the fun part of the weekend.

There is just not enough of it.

I spent some time fixing C1 Fantome from the club, fixing aramid hip-rest, and also an hour int the Airhead trying to do the nose-stal or cartwheel it. Getting closet but still not yet there.

Also, new blog to keep your eyes on:
