We all navigated the rapids the way we wanted to , and we all commemorated the day with smiles on our faces , repeatedly saying , “ I can ’ t believe how good today was .” Paddling with peers of a similar age and with the same goals is excellent , and so much can be achieved . Conversely , paddling with people of various ages , abilities , and backgrounds this year has made me feel that so much more can be accomplished than simply running a hard waterfall or rapid .

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS
In other recent developments , the accomplished coach , trainer / assessor , and avid Scottish white water paddleboarder Jess Philip , has recently published her first paddleboard-specific river guide . Available on Patreon , Jess has outlined in great detail the main features and hazards of specific river journeys using geo-tagged images and an interactive map . This guide offers much greater beta than other white water guides I ’ ve come across , and we cannot wait to see the finished product . Jess does everything she can to support other paddlers accessing the Scottish rivers in a safer and more accessible way , all the way from coaching to researching and writing this guide .
Please support Jess and her company ‘ Dipper Paddleboarding ’ by subscribing to their Patreon page . A special mention to Nookie for supporting my journey this year . It means a tremendous amount to have this local , eco-focused paddlesport companies support .
