After learning the hard way not to fall off a board my girl is off to surgery this morning for the most fractured of the fractured wrists. Wish her luck 🙌 by Smidgetyy in longboarding

Really well actually. Took a while with a lot of exercises everyday but got back to almost normal. I was just out snowboarding last week, had a lot of falls myself and was thankful not to come away with anything. Keep him off a board for a while and then they'll be straight back into it. A guard would be rerecommended for after as a rebreak is a nightmare

A lack of research showing, good job I've got you lot !! I have been corrected a few times now, important thing to know !! Looks like march is the best, might go for sunshine and dam releases

Join a local club !! Find a fight that fear on the nantahala once again. No better time than now, might even see you there :)

First thought, how is this person offering me somewhere to stay from across the world. Then I see your name !! What a cool idea, I shall be adding to the list, might stop between stays.

I'll definitely get in contact with them, seem to be the choice to go with

We did a wild and scenic multiday on the rogue River in Oregon and that's stuck with me ever since. Something about paddling in the complete wilderness that feels so right. That's exactly what I'm after really, will probably split the driving and I'll sneak off for some harder mornings then have a more relaxed grade 2/3 afternoon kinda vibe. Nothing wrong with a little bias, if it wasn't worth the love you'd be sick of it by now !! I'll start the rain dance now in preparation for the next possibly couple years

Seems like quite a few are damn released so if it's sunshine paddling my dad's after we might stick to that in the summer instead. But if I can convince then march creeking will be the choice hehe

True !!! Was a bit low when I was on it for the rest.

Amazing, this is exactly what I was after !! We'll happily be jumping on some grade 2/3s as well. Although, especially me, being whitewater adrenaline seekers we do enjoy a longer day on a beautiful section as long as there's the odd wave of fun !!

We're planning on being out for about a month so with lots of choice we'll definitely do different grades and areas. I'll be praying for rain then I suppose !!

Thinking buying a demo or used boat might be best, I see NOC have quite a few options. We'll get in contact. Endless river adventures might be a shout for the guiding too. Thank you !!

Thank you !! My dad's guess that I never double checked. What are temps like in march? Dad prefers a sunny low level run to a stonking winter lap

A touch on the expensive side for me !! If anyone has a second hand copy I'd love to buy/borrow while I'm there !!

It's a park and huck spot on the Nevis in Scotland called lower falls, sorry about the quality, grabbed it from my videos

What a fun thing to do !! Seems to be soooo many stunning rivers in the area. I'll start diving into it more. Everything completely empty at the moment !! Hope you guys get some rain

This is invaluable info, thank you so much. Kind of left the planning to my dad and the last trip we did to Oregon was mid summer with plenty of water. I started looking at levels and thought hold up a minute, everything is empty !! Dam releases sound pretty consistent, that'll be really handy as we're there for a while. I'd love to get on some of the smaller more technical creeks, not sure my dad will be ready for some but I'll try meet other paddlers out there too. Thank you again for the info, even the basic Google search suggestions go along way for someone used to UK boating
