1 Mar 11 - 1.0m at Old Rd Bridge
The waves work well and Zia excels.
Zia T, Nick H, Troy D and I completed a quick novice run, as wave at the main road bridge wasn't working. We introduced Zia to the basics and she cottoned on pretty quick, setting a blistering pace on the flat water sections. "Three sisters" is the first challenge, and Zia took a swim, but only after attempting an eskimo rescue - well done!
Zia portaged the "Island Rapid" without mishap, while the rest of us had a couple of surfs each on the wave. Nick managed a very composed roll in a strong current (after I accidentally knocked him over during a cartwheel). The little wave after the "Island Rapid" was excellent and Nick, Troy and I enjoyed 15 minutes of surfing, before pressing on.
Zia ran the last drop in style and Nick took a few photos in the setting sun, while Troy and I enjoyed the wave for about half an hour. The beers at the bottle store were very cold and the regulars were happy to see us (even though it was well after dark).
