Freestyle road trip

About 2 weeks ago myself and Kevin decided to do a few freestyle features around the country. We started in Wicklow where we intended to try kevin's new OC1 out on the Avonmore but unfortunately it was completely dry
The plan was then to head to Gower but we were told (wrongly) that it wasnt working to headed to the sluice instead for a session. The sluice was much lower than the releases website said but was still at a reasonable level. I wasn't too impressed with the OC1 as it was not outfitted and I fell out. Was doing reasonably well in the C1 though, however the wave was quite flushy so sticking moves proved difficult.
Following the sluice trip we headed to Clifden, arriving just in time for the evening session. This was a little too difficult to get into in C1's and I had to resort to dropping in for much of the session.
The next morning myself and Kevin were back on the water at 7 for the morning tide. The hole was at a much nicer level, getting in was easy and the hole was pretty decent so I could concentrate on trying to get my offside moves more consistent. Strange being off the water and ready to go home for 10 am!
We then went to try out Toome, however it wasn't working correctly so we had to give it a miss and just head back to belfast.
