getting on is the easy bit, just float slowly under the bridge and it will hold u, but watch ur edge. then just sit an throw ends, simple. :dance:

Forwards, backward, sideways, any damn way you want. Just do it slowly.

as u may have found, getting off is harder.

reaching under the foam pile to the green (brown) water and not leaning back will normaly get u out but there are other ways.

one is to do small double pumps wen side on to the wave, releasing the ends and working u bak on the wave.

another is to role and wait abit before roling bak up, sending u undr the foam pile.

PLF- paddle like F*** against the current. It is the same for the Tees barrage top wave.

You can also seal launch form the river-right path beside the feature. You drop in just below it and PLF on!

droping in off the side is definately the most fun!!! if you get it right you can barrel roll off the side and land right side up surfing... that's a personal fav!! well fun
