A Playboaters paradise; big water fun in
the sun. A/S Shop oik Ewart, Friend of many Jason Scholey, and Product designer
at Palm Equipment Tim Maud all went on a nice jolly to Uganda to get a taste for
big water play. They had a lot of fun, here is some action on and off the
water.
The day one section, 30k in total
including at least 15k of flat water.!
Bugagali Falls, the first big
rapid of the day and one of many channels.
Shuttle Africa style! Licensed to
carry 14, in reality, many more and 10 boats. The best way to travel to
uber wave Malalu.
Local video boater Doug enjoying
some free time. Helix at Malalu.
The only other UK boaters out at
the time, Allan Ellard and Pyranha team mate Liz Bell were having
fun. Allan's first Helix in his new Seven-O.
Jason knocks out one of many big
blunts, more time was spent on the wave than taking
photos.
The entrance to Nile River
Explorers camp. The mud will stain every thing!
View from the Bar. A great place
to enjoy some cold Nile special beer after a good days
paddle.
Spot the "Muzungu" (white man).
Jinja; a 20 min 'boda-boda' ride from camp.
Rice and peas. There are many
exotic things for sale in the market.
The sights and smells of down town
Jinja market are a must see.
Or just let what you want come to
you.
Ewart fires off a big one. Malalu.
We went there a lot. Its very good.
Ewarts not very good with a
camera. Tim getting aggressive.
Style and precision. Tim finds the
green.
Malalu launching pad. Its not
night time really.
Ewart looking for the green as
well.
He thinks he's found
it...
The launch...
...The
landing.
As an all year round destination
Uganda is great.
Its hot, there's always water and
in two weeks you still have stuff left to do. The wild life, people and
culture are fantastic, there's more to life than paddling....?
September brings the Nile River
Festival and big air comp. Start saving...
