Best Boating Moment:
So many good times, so hard to choose... paddling Newark weir in the dark at a perfect level with Niceboy on bonfire night with fireworks going off behind was pretty special. Paddling slalom course in Bourg on about 90 cumecs in the dark. Winning European Championship Medals at home in Nottingham.

Worst Boating Moment:
Took a pretty boney swim on Erskine creek in Aus, worse still broke my nice shiny slalom paddles and had to finish rest of day (including 30min flat water upstream paddle out) with metal schlegel splits! Missing qualification for Beijing Olympics :(.

Favourite Stuff:

Food: My mum's snowball pudding.

Drink: Coffee to keep the motor running and Sambuca for perspective.

Music: pretty wide variety.

Film: The Big Lebowski, Jump Tomorrow
