Waited months to attempt the Great Ouse bore and then a few weeks after its peak around the Spring equinox, conditions looked decent again, and it was on.
Another crew of kayakers and SUPs was assembled, with some new faces trying it for the first time.
Sunday evening we paddled out, and waited, knowing it was probably not going to be as good as March, or even appear at all. For 45 minutes we watched and waited. Ready to call it a night, we heard shouts from a local on the river bank and our drone pilot
It was coming! Here’s what happened next.
Another great experience paddling this unique wave with .j.light
