Ah thank you!! So glad you got so much out of it!! Head over to Instagram if you haven’t already - I post mostly on there (need to get better on here!) and have a few workshops etc and more online courses I run.

Wishing you all the best for a positive recovery! 🙏🏼

It is traumatic, sending strength to you both!! Daily physio is key and eventually hydrotherapy. Kevin does that once a month even now! He has had two surgeries though sadly, but hopefully no more!

Sending you all the love and prayers for his recovery! Daily physio exercises and hydrotherapy did amazing things for Kevin 🤞🏼🤍

@EllieActionFilms Thank you so much! She is getting better everyday! 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks Joy! I still need to upload part two of this which included a lot of gruelling canals 🤣 thanks for the kind comment and merry Xmas

Hey! He was doing really well but had another episode, stage 3 so not as bad and was up walking a lot sooner. I cannot recommend hydrotherapy and physio enough and just making sure they don’t jump up/down anything when recovered - easier said than done I know!! Wishing yours all the best with recovery 🤍

Thanks for coming back to me. I'm sorry to hear KB had another episode. I hope he is OK and keeping outta trouble. Thanks again.

Welldone Lynne! You win the prize for most observant viewer! We recce’d Welshpool and then went down to crewgreen. But we’ll done for spotting. We don’t put everything in every video because otherwise they would be hours long! We decided the safety message here was probably more important than what location is what.

I’m not sure they tested for that soon after surgery as he was on so many drugs for so many weeks there’s no way really to tell. He was stage 4 when he went in and had some pain sensation in his rear legs - so wasn’t grade 5. Hope that helps 🤍

@@Elliecartwright_filmmaker thanks for replying! I’m glad you’re dog is doing so well. My dog was grade 4 as well and had some deep pain sensation before the surgery but now has nothing at all. It’s been 2 weeks since the surgery now

@@kristenr2853 oh it’s so so stressful, just keep the physio exercises and if you can get him some laser therapy? It’s so so hard so my heart goes out to you

Ah I’m so glad this has helped you! I’m sure he’ll be walking again in no time, it’s a fairly long road but consistent physio, hydro, fish oil supplements and keeping them nice and slim to help recovery speed are my top tips!!

Hi Pablo, the fastest board is the 13’2 Voyager board. All of the red boards I’ve found to be extremely stable. The 13’2 though is narrower at 30” and feels slightly less stable at first but it’s design means it’s still super stable. I haven’t fallen in from it! Both the Sport and the 12’6 voyager are 32 inches wide so feel more stable. The voyagers are all faster due to the v-shape on the hull. But it depends what you want it for. I ended up choosing to keep the sport because it’s a bit smaller and perfect for the kind of river outings I like to do. Can still be used for mini adventures. If you want to go adventuring with the sup, long distance paddling and camp outs etc defo go for the voyager. Hope that helps!

@@Elliecartwright_filmmaker Thank you very much for your help, you are very kind. My idea is to buy the Voyager 12.6 model from 2022 that is about to go on sale, the fear I have is that it would be an excessively slow board. I have looked at the Voyager 13.2 and I like it a lot… the problem is that I have never done paddle surfing, and my girlfriend would also use it and she has little balance. We have no experience either. I've been watching your videos for months and I'm looking forward to it going on sale to the board ... only sometimes I wonder if the 12.6 model is too slow. The idea is to make 1-day trips in the Mediterranean Sea near the coast. Thank you very much for your help. All the best! EDIT: sorry for my English

@@PRS792 the 12’6 is definitely not a slow board at all! It’s the second fastest in their range. And it’s the same width as the lower model boards so has the same stability. It’s a great choice. You mentioned Paddle ‘surfing’ though - is that on the sea? Like you want to catch waves and surf? If so you’d need a specific small board for that called the Whip. Another option for you and your girlfriend to enjoy sup together could be the 15’ voyager tandem!

@@Elliecartwright_filmmaker Thank you very much Ellie for your advice and taking the time to help me. Definitely and if you say that it is not a slow board I think I will buy the voyager of 12.6. I'm not interested in catching waves or surfing, just cruising near the coast. Travel quietly taking photos, eating in small coves and things like that. I was looking at the tandem model and I think I could buy it in the future, in a few years. But my budget is limited so I was afraid of not making the right choice. I read many comments from people always recommending the 13.2 model over the 12.6 ... but if it is not a slow model, it is more stable and also works better in windy situations or the sea a bit rough ... .definitely I stay with Voyager 12.6. Thank you very much for everything, keep uploading videos that are very entertaining and you have a fabulous channel, congratulations and thank you very much once again. A greeting from Spain.

Hey! It’s been a very long process honestly and he’s had a few set backs. Hydrotherapy has been game changing! But sadly I don’t think he’ll ever be how he was before. We have to watch him a lot, he often gets muscle soreness and back spasms from tension in his back. But we know what to look out for now! The key for me is hydro, some laser, cod liver oil, and acupuncture (when he’s a bit sore) and making sure he keeps his weight down!

Honestly just make sure you give time to his recovery and all the help with physio and I’m sure yours will be absolutely fine. Kevin had grade 4 IVDD which is high, I think hence him not being back to normal. But for a lot of dogs I think they make full recoveries!

I’ve been meaning to! So I will get round to it! It’s been a journey that’s for sure!

@@Elliecartwright_filmmaker Thatd be great! Has be managed to make it back to pre surgery mobility? :)

Hi Rupert, after falling in the river in January I did some much needed research into water safety. QR is essential on rivers and lakes due to the fact that if you fall in your leash could become wrapped around debris or trees. Having experienced this in ice cold water - the speed of the flow can make it extremely difficult to reach your ankle so a leash around the waist can save your life 👍🏻 Knowing where you’re paddling and what the best gear is for it (for example non-coiled leashes on the sea) is super important for making sure you’re confident in all situations! Thanks for the comment 👏 I may do a video explaining my kit! Ellie

Ok. Thanks for replying. I wasn’t questioning the leash as such but the waist vs ankle. Given the cost of these things alone, it’s necessary to tie them to something haha!! I guess the QR is simply easier on the waist if needed too and less chance of annoyance under-foot too… thanks for the tip.

@@rupertmarlow4668 yeah essentially the waist access and quick release element means if you’re in difficulty you can release more quickly and easily. There is equally an argument for not having a leash at all on a river because the risk of getting it caught is high. You can get some pretty cheap but effective ones just online. 👍🏻

Thanks. I’ll keep that in mind when kitting out! Did you get my cheeky IG message? I just thought I’d ask!
