The nicer weather also allowed a few more coasteering trips around the Berry Head area, and on one of those trips, with good friends Carl, Josh, Jack and Stef, we had a real up close encounter with a wild Dolphin which was pretty amazing!
Then as we approached Christmas time the rains came again, allowing me to dig my Raptor out and score a series of solo Upper Dart runs in superb slab covered levels. Awesome!
On one occasion I solo paddled my Riot Dominatrix playboat down the Upper Dart in a nice lapping over the slab level, before joining Elisabeth on the Loop for a fantastic playboating session of surfing, squirting, and spinning. Wicked fun!
Probably one of the most enjoyable things we did around this time on the higher level days (ie: 3rd arch levels) was when we took the boogie boards down the Loop - just for a laugh. Surfing the top and bottom waves on the boogie boards was so much fun, and a nice change from kayaking it all the time. Running the river on them was hilarious fun too - bashing through stoppers and bouncing down rapids - all super-close to the action. We were grinning from ear to ear! :)
With wet weather forecast for Christmas and into the new year, looks like we'll be hitting the river some more before the year is out. Excellent! :)
