Few Lines For New Born Baby

Fallos que prestan

We continue in our goal of discovering new Galicia rivers, being more specific in the north of it which is where we live.

result of this desire to get together on Friday Segade Celso Ponte, Joe, John, Thomas and the author down a long stretch of Sor. Unfortunately, upon arrival, we found that there was less water than expected, so we decided to shorten the distance out from the confluence of the Rego Sr. Beasts.



Knowing that the slope was not brutal, yet we hope that steps had been interesting. As a result, John fell into one of the Demon Exokayak demonstration gave us Ondabrava. By the way, the boat in question is very good looking and very interesting price.


The Demon

The decline began at the height of Ambosores and few paleadas already introduced us one step easy but fun. Unfortunately the fun was there, as the rest of the river was a vast series of dams (you can do all) and class II sections joined by backwaters.

Anyway, the scenery is spectacular at any time since the river is crystal clear and passes through a landscape as bucolic. Needless to say, stop at a shelter for lunch was also his grace. This was reflected in the video recorded by Germany with your camera "on board".

the end we gave up a pair of tickets to slipstream Ponte dam Segade that with this level of water was not too asshole.


Overbooking in the slipstream

rivers in this opening sometimes one wins and is given to a section interesting and others like it you just getting into 12 km of class II under his belt.

Sunday of kings could not go too far and that most had family commitments. So we decided to lower the Belelle, which lacked one quarter short of water to be at its optimum level.

The stretch we were going to lose is not particularly difficult but it is to be a rocky no options to play, hence both Celso as I decide to go down with the Creeks. John did with ZG while Pepe chose his G-Ride. The latter became concerned at seeing Celso and I watched a lot of the previous step to "Step John" because we were looking to do so by a different path than usual.

The descent went off without major incident Celso wearing ties except on a ramp with stones that required the intervention of John and me to get off the hook (do not count as swim but as a reason to pay birritas). Pepe

much more relaxed in the second half as in the first between the slope and the volume of water that bore the river was a bit tense.

landed in the dam of the farm where the Micro Celso change the G-Force to play in a small loop is formed there.

Wax Burn Cocoa Butter

Minitest Dagger G-Ride 6.5

At first I did not find meaning in this type of kayaks called Allarounders, riverplay or polyvalent. The logic is that to play one buy a canoe Rodeo Creek and descend one (or semi-creek). However, as you accumulate miles of river on the back you'll find situations where the current Freestyle kayaks sold and you get bored with a creek. This can be an easy or a Ulla Deza mythical with plenty of water, for instance.

I recently had the opportunity to test the G-Ride both river and sea and here I leave my conclusions:

In River is a canoe very manageable due to its small length, being really easy to gum and slalom between stones. Anyway do not forget that this is a model based on a kayak rodeo and is not the most appropriate steps to make significant slopes. For me, its habitat is in grade III rivers with lots of volume and some other spot to play. The typical place where you would go with the Freestyle just navigation but with a wave where the creek is extra.

speed in the sea that provides its merits at length together with a very soft edges make it down the wave docile but can not bear on the wall. If you check either transfer songs is not hard to air blunts and even powerful waves are reach out Panams. Its volume aft hitches prevents the dreaded back when the wave catches you in that dreaded spot known as "the fucking way."

flat Move it is possible but laborious, the hardest part is maintaining good vertical, the cartwheels, especially if one goes by 70 kg and 227 liters that get noticed.

In short, it's a kayak for those who do not need to spend the entire catalog of figures rodeo or down very steep rivers. For people who just want a boat suitable for everyone without specializing in anything. That is, what is meant by a versatile kayak.
