What seems to be the perfect location, although I seem to of missed most of the rain due to other commitments. Still getting plenty of low water runs in and the odd bit of water too. <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Boat:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Zet Raptor<br \/>\nCost: \u00a3500 (2nd Hand) <\/p>\n<p>This is my first true creeking boat. After taking a while to get used to it, I&#8217;m really feeling comfy in all I do in it at last. It takes a full battering due to the constant use on low water runs, giving the hull a good beating, but still showing no sign of real damage, despite it been a 3rd hand boat! Since I have been using it, it has also been used a lot as a demo boat for my colleagues first experences of the sport. This means the interior outfitting has constantly been moved and adjusted, and it&#8217;s still not showing any sign of wear. However, some of my friends have had problems with durability. If I could compare it to flight class, to paddle in would be economy rather than first class. However, it more than does the job and is simple and easy to adjust. I will most likely buy again when she does die. More than happy with the Raptor. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Paddles:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I use 2 paddles &#8211; Power houses: Glass \u00a3200 (new) Carbon \u00a3150 (2nd hand).<\/p>\n<p>Glass 200cm Powerhouses: Really solid, never worry about snapping a blade or the shaft. However, after less then a year of usage they are now 196cm and I&#8217;m looking to replace, so slightly disappointed with durability, but still structurally solid. <\/p>\n<p>I also use 192 Carbon blade Powerhouses for play boating. After lending them out over a year ago and consequently spending 2 months pinned in town falls on the dee, they found their way back to me. Still good to go! <\/p>\n<p><strong>Technical Gear:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sweet shadrach dry cag \u00a3130 (new) <\/p>\n<p>Really solid. I had a swim in a hole for about 4 minutes last year, and I was still bone dry on my top half wearing this cag.
