Usk at a low level - Mill falls - 2nd May 09

7 paddlers made the trip, which considering the levels was a very good turn out. Myself, Matt, Paul, Nick, Chris, Ben & Lewis. The trip was split into 3 sections - Paddling to mill falls - Playing on mill falls - Paddling to the get out.

The level at the falls was low but the surf wave down the centre channel was a perfect height for a nice friendly surf. Nearly everyone managed to have a surf and some people went no HANDS!

After getting used to the dynamics of the wave, lewis was tempted by adrenalin to surf the wave's face and an exciting few minutes ensued with Lewis shredding the wave like everyone else.

Chris also caught the wave and enjoyed the biggest surf of his kayaking career. Saying afterwards that he wants to find a bigger wave!

When finished on the wave we used the falls to practice some zip lines, live bait rescues and swimming.

Even though the water levels were low, we all had a great time in the sun and the boats.
