Craig gets out in the OC1 again

Well after this weeks success running the Lune I thought it would be a good idea to hit the Kent and the Leven and see what this Mowhawk boat can do. It was great I had a run down the Kent with no swims and good lines on all the rapids and then fun down the Leven but with a couple of swims but still great fun.....

Check ou my little VIDEO of how the day went.

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.

Long time no post!

Well its been a while since my last post, this isn't because we've not been up to anything only that we've been up to to much and been to busy, we've had another trip to Scotland surfing in Pembrokeshire days out climbing and much more boating. Also the Lancaster shop has had a face lift inside and now looks great. With a trip also to Germany to see lots of new products at Kannumesse. But anyway that was just a quick note to catch up and let everyone know were back on track for more regular posts.
