Craig tries his hand at OC1

Well as you may have guessed I (Craig) can be usually found out on the rivers in my trusty nomad however yesterday I decided it was time for a change and time to do some real product testing. So me and Mark Burch (Brookbank Director) headed out to the upper lune for me to have a go in the new range of White Water Open Canoes from Mohawk. I have never done white water OC1 so this could only end in laughter but I thought it was worth it. So with Mark in his kayak to pick up the pieces when I swam we set off with me in the Mohawk Viper 12. The day didn't start well with a swim in the first 10 yards but I persisted and very quickly got used to the tippy boat with no swims on any of the major rapids just 5 more whilst ferry gluiding and eddie hopping as to be expected in a boat like this. But the day was a great one full of new found nerves and excitment deffinatley a new side of boating I will start pursuing.
