Hawaii-Sur-Rhone

Exploring the rugged beauty of Hawaii Sur Rhone, a journey into the heart of untamed wilderness.

I’ve just returned from a weeks boating on Hawaii-Sur-Rhone. It was a last minute decision (that’s what happens when two girls try and decide on somewhere to go boating) so I set off by car with Flea and caught the ferry from Dover. Flea did some good driving and we were at Lyon by 2pm the next day, so we went straight to the wave and after a quick look jumped on for a go.

This was the first time I’d been to a big wave like this and what can I say it was as good and better than what I had excepted! I was nervous the first time but soon got used to it, it was very hard to catch due to the water level and recent changes to the river bed, but once on it, it was awesome. The next few days fell in to a familiar pattern. drive to the wave in the morning (via the supermache to stock up on baguettes and cheese for the day) paddle for a few hours, get off for a few hours, laze around in the sun, then jump back on for a few hours before heading back to the campsite for pasta and veg.
