A few days ago I had to recognize, that the
form of my ass takes on the form of my office seat and not the form of my boat
seat anymore... What a horrible realization! F..k! A change was necessary! So
the only logic reaction was to break out and escape to the strange high forms,
growing out of the ground, called mountains. So my buddies Thilo, Johannes and
Maxi picked me up for a long 8h ride to... Where to go? Switzerland? Austria? Just before the interchange
we decided to join Philip, Thilo, Bernd and Kai in Austria. Yeah, waking up, seeing
the mountain feels so great! Damn that they’re so far away from home.
Reloaded in a small bakery and armed with the
new Lettman GRANATE L we were pretty fired up for some action on the Brandenberger
Ache. The new weapon did its work and we were ready for another ride in the
later evening and got reinforced by the butcher Ulli, his meat-van and the young gun Kasper.
To get myself a good start into the new season
I decided to exit my boat on a juicy flow on the Brandy to get a delicious booty
afterwards...Haha. Satisfied but tired of the first day we finished it with an
enormous barbecue.
READY FOR MEAT – # 1!
Next day we went to the Koppentraun. A great
flow of 1,5 m put us a big smile in our faces. Ok, I saw one of the best parts
upside down, but even nice through this perspective. Hehe.
Even more motivated we started to our next goal,
the Lofer gorge. But to our surprise it was much too high. Really not healthy..!
So we decided to run the Weißbach, a nice little creek nearby. A little bit
destroyed of the two runs and the longer drive we reloaded with an enormous
barbecue again.
READY FOR MEAT – # 2!
Got used to the character of a small creek we
breakfast the Gimmbach at the following morning. Sweet one! Still heavier but
stronger of the second barbecue we were prepared for bombing the Untertalbach,
a pearl!!! Oh yes, we got our asses spanked on a great water level! Give this
to a kayaker: big slides, tricky entrances, nice drops, even a bigger one – and
every one owns a biiiig smile!
At the end of the day we celebrated a little
Park n’ Huck session at the Römerfall. The river is called Taugl. A nice 8 to 9
meter drop which pushes to the left vertical wall at the bottom. This exit gave
two of us booties in the later evening. Sweet!
To finish our trip we did - what do you think?
Yes, another enormous barbecue.
READY FOR MEAT – # 3!
To finish our short trip we digested the meat
during a fast run on the Brandy again. What a nice completion! During the long
drive back home we planned our next short trip. Destination? Maybe
like the last one. Or in this time Switzerland? We‘ll decide it during we’re
heading south again.
See you soon in the mountains, dudes!
