A quick float this morning on the Hutt River, getting familiar with the new toy, a couple of wee brownies thrown in as a bonus. The whole kit fitted in my usual 30L pack, no problem. The carbon 4pc paddle arrived yesterday and is an amazing 850grams!

Made the trip back to the car absolutely effortless and quick!

Your going to be able to go twice as far up those mountain streams this summer and still make the evening BBQ.  Love the image of commuters going to work in the background!

Unfortunately I think most streams in the ranges will be to shallow Andrew, bloody awesome for going UP through gorge pools though where nobody else can get to without swimming... cheers.

No fish is safe from you now! Looks like much more fun than walking back to the car
