You'll have to watch it to find out Paul.

For anyone that's a fan of BBC2's Eggheads: Me, alongside four other chumps from Brum Uni Kayak club will be appearing on Eggheads tonight.

I spy some pink boat action: (The prettiest boat I've ever seen....) http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs456.snc3/26089_105901389439742_100000596456004_132429_3857779_n.jpg And video of Marlene Devillez showing what the French have to offer: http://www.vimeo.com/8975250 I spy 'No way José!'

Thanks for the replies guys. x

Hi, Our university club have been approached by the lifeguards of our uni pool (who have recently come under new management), and they have essentially told us that their life saving qualification does not cover rescuing people from boats, and have therefore asked us to supply our own lifeguards to ...

Myself and a few mates are heading to Chertsey on Thursday (27th) after work. Feel free to come along.

Werner Sherpas, 194 small shaft. Have served me well so far!

Edit: Forgot to add, I'm 5'4".

For me, one female boater that has to be mentioned in this thread, purely for her exceptional enthusiasm for the sport is Cat Ross. She was an outstanding captain for Brum Uni Kayak Club (2005-06), putting a lot of time, money and dedication to the club, whilst having to deal with possibly one of th...

I think its quite sweet. Good luck on your quest.

Not mine, so not entering the comp, but these are pretty cool:
If you go here: http://www.sauvonslamalate.org then click on 'photos', its takes you to a surfer surfing La Malate wave in Besançon, France.

Rhod after swimming and live bating his own boat on the Etive on the section , which is to be known by our group of paddlers as 'Rhod's Crack'. This photo makes me smile every time. Thanks Rhod! xx

Not this year but some cool photos: Photos: Nathanael Rice. Nat's deceptively 'big air' shot: http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v66/102/114/223410346/n223410346_1806062_5611.jpg and turns out you can fit four on a wavesport x: http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v66/102/114/2234103...

One for the ladies: Just bought the Palm Ladies Naiya cag from here: http://www.wetsuitoutlet.co.uk/ for a lot cheaper than I found anywhere else. Plus free delivery (if you wanted it within the next 3 days). Mine arrived the very next day! Also, they were very nice to talk to on the phone. One happ...

It's the boat of champions:

Adam Devitt-Spooner - Total hero. Has bailed a lot of us out of tricky situations (hasn't he Sam and Mark? ;) ). Always glad to paddle with him.

I'm more intrigued as to why there are copies of 'closer' and 'reveal' in his room...........

Really bizarre:

Thats the one.

La Malate in Besançon (only if there's been enough rainfall though!) On the way down to the alps, so could tie it in with Lyon's Hawaii and the Rab in Briançon.

Check out this cheeky number:

Clubs that I like: Liverpool (student for 3 years) Birmingham (very friendly club, very social) Warick (ditto above) Cheers Lloyd. Also have to agree with Lloyd's choice. Liverpool are a great bunch - were happy to put us up for the night when we played the Liverpool polo tournaments. And as for Wa...

Birrrrrrrrrmingham! Has a good history department, and this years committee are a great bunch of people! With a canal running through campus, where else can you hop in a boat after lectures and paddle to town for a cheeky pint? ;) Not far from Wales either.... and very central so turning up to paddl...

Hey Tom,
I'm in Besançon for the year. There are loads of campsites. I'll ask the local boating frenchies what they'd recommend for you.
You coming for a play on La Malate?

Claire

I'm from Godalming too. Have sent you a pm.

It runs whenever there's been a lot of rain - so mainly autumn, spring at a guess. One of the guys I boated with last Sunday had been on Hawaii the day before, so presumably when that's up, La Malate should also be on a good level. Unfortunately I've no car (I'm but a mere student out here), but I'v...

Did that not hurt a wee bit when you landed?

Anyone is welcome. (Providing you're over 18!)

Hi Mark,
Can I be changed to Claire_Saxton please.
Ta very much!

If anyone fancies a trip to France to try out this wave:
La Malate

Give me a shout. I'm in Besançon for the year.

Claire

I stand corrected! Rupert it appears you did encounter Mr Williams on a bad day, and my hat goes off to you for being the 'bigger man' by not reacting to his aggressive actions. Anyhow, I desperately hope all this gets sorted and turns out for the better for the paddling community as it's a lovely r...

Oh and I can confirm Mr Williams did wave us goodbye after our paddle.
