North Esk Race & Fun in the P&H Hammer!

I was at the North Esk race this weekend with Beth and the team Pyranha van.
I decided not to race, as my shoulder is still recovering from a pull the other week. It did however give me the chance to go and take some photo's of the competitors!










Pyranha had sent up a P & H Hammer sea play kayak on top of the van, so after the race i decided to jump in for a few laps.
The N Esk has some pretty tight lines, particularly in the fairly low water levels of the weekend, so it was pretty exciting squeezing through some of the narrow slots! I was actually amazed at how well the boat handled though, and although it's definitely a sea kayak, it's river kayak influence is obvious, and it carved, surfed and even boofed incredibly well! I'd really love to get this boat on some harder water on both the river and the sea to really put it through it's paces!
 I definitely want one!






Here's the GoPro!



Cheers to Ben Fitzhugh and Joe Axe for the couple of shots of me in the boat!
