    Nice one…thanks for sharing your paddle. I’m still pretty new to this so I would definitely have bottled it!

    Just stumbled on your videos. That looked awesome; I'd have been tempted by the rapids too. Just picked up a SUP in the sales and had a go on The Stour last weekend. Let me know if you want to meet up for a paddle. 🤙

      Yeh I was close to giving it a go! Looking back at the video now looks maybe manageable but always feels worse in person I think! Oh nice! Yeh sounds good will let you know! 🙌🏼🏄🏼‍♂️

    If you carried on after Langham flumes you would of found the fastest flow on the whole river. Up to the green metal bridge and mill pond at Boxted.
    I paddled it when the levels were at their highest last year it was hairy but awesome fun!
    I don’t know if you remember but I met you at Sainsburys Tollgate at the tills, still watching your videos mate maybe we could get a paddle together one day 🤙

    On my UA-cam channel I did two video adventures with flooded fun. I paddle my backyard river everyday, flow, current & streams are really fun! Fun that you also had a flooded river. Good that you skipped ankle leash. Good also that you test your ability first, when it's seems like you don't have experience of fast flowing water. 🤗

      Oh nice! Makes the paddle a bit more adrenalin filled! I’ve done a few videos from previously winters aswell 🏄🏼‍♂️ Yeh learnt through the comment section from previous videos not to use leg leash in these conditions! 😅

      @@MorewithMat yes more fun (or adrenaline) now with less water again , it feels almost boring. I also learned when I started UA-cam 2 years ago that have the right safety equipment. People see all the wrong. Also important for us “UA-camrs” to be a role model. 🤗
