In this case, Oxfordshire mid England close to the River Thames :)

Levels have been too high for this wave lately but things are prettymuch back to normal now!

The strainer in the background is a bit of a problem though!

Happy belated b-day UK!! Question for you. Have you paddled the Rapidfire? How does your SUPercharger compare stability-wise? Looks like it surfs much better. Thinking of getting one to replace my Rapidfire. Thanks!

Thanks!

No - I have not paddled the Rapidfire but was tempted by price and availability!

The SUPercharger is certainly a more modern design, I beleive the Rapidire has been around for a few years!

I also have a Badfish MVP which is a lot more snappy on the waves but not as robust!

Yeah - for ferrying, breaking in and out, all the same rules apply to WW SUP as to WW kayak..

Are you in the UK?
