Wish it could be like this when an event is on!
Didn't do much gate training though, just played on the waves!!!

Shepperton on bank Hol Monday
I have done a competition when it has been like that infact i think it may have been bigger ha ??? ,
Granted it was like 8 years ago and you could have been paddling straight at a gate and you would dissapear in a whirl pool/ boil but it sure was fun.
It may have even been a division 2 or 1 race, back when they held competition on biggish water and didnt cancel them

Interestingly, my web filter is categorising the video as "violence" (yes I could switch the filter off!). I think it's pretty clever to recognise that water can be violent.
Down to one gate and a side today, but boils and great fun judging by the smiles of paddlers.
Perhaps we need a floating Shepperton Div 1 event - ie as soon as it hits 4 gates we run the event.

Ha, so have i, first slalom of the year 1987 (showing my age there) 6 gates open (not 4 as in Vid). It was a cauldron of messy eddies and boils. and the course lasted about 3+ mins.
