Italy – Day 2

  • Headed back to the Egua this morning and found it less busy than yesterday.
  • Everyone had good lines on the entry slide (Shoulder-cam video below) and then (for me a least) it went downhill from there – figuratively and physically.
  • Had a sloppy line through the S Bend and ended up in the recircing eddy only to be joined by Colm S a minute later.
  • Intended to go left on the slot drop but lazily petoned the centre rock and ended up going down backwards.
  • Finally managed to completely screw up the end of the next slide, losing the tops of my knuckles in the process but it’ll make for great video!

  • After a quick dose of caffeine in Varallo and a parade by the local marching band and dignitaries we headed back up the Sesia Valley to Piode.
  • Putting in at Piode, below the main falls, we cruised down to Scopello, skipping Hugo’s Hole but enjoying the bigger volume class III/IV boogie water.
