22 & 24 April 11 - 8cm over Mukore Weir
I finally got to meet Tom D - a man who's undertaken some interesting trips on the Pungwe, Sanyati and Zambezi, mostly in the early 90's. Hopefully we'll get some write-ups of those trips on the blog.
Tom, Nick H and I enjoyed the Mukore section at lower levels, with a short run and much time spent on the wave. We all tried different boats and managed to pull some interesting moves. We'd like to claim a few as planned moves, but click here to judge for yourself...
The Z-Rapid was run several times. Tom managed to take an "interesting" line on his first attempt, and managed to boof the rock in the middle on his last. I managed to screw up the second run, completing the last section upside-down as a result.

One of the local youngsters "Bigboy" decided to have a go - I held the boat steady while he surfed the shallow part of the wave. He loved it and insisted on having a deck on, but I refused. Unfortunately Nick was already on the water so we didn't get any photos.
