Long time, no playboating!
It's been a while (the Worlds, beginning of Sept), since I was in my playboat, and only the one session in a creekboat in that time - a short trip to the River Dart for the Gene 17 weekend back in December:

My physio (I've been having sessions to resolve some long-term back problems) gave me the all-clear to go boating just the day before it snowed, but.... it snowed.... hmmmm.... no chance of me wanting to go near the water with cold white stuff on the ground.
Thankfully it stopped snowing and I recently got back in my boat. There's nothing like a green Hurley 3-gater in the sunshine to dust the cobwebs off and a couple of sessions this week got me back into the way of some big wave moves. Unfortunately I seem to have forgotten what to do in a hole (it's been well over a year since I did any significant hole-boating!) and who knows where my edges have got to. I'm sure that will come back in time (hopefully before the European Championships in June!) but not if that middle gate at Hurley stays green :)
