"what
a unique morning, now I can call myself a true bugger, brilliant
fun !"
Why
do it ?
Only 50
River Bugs exist in the world, of which we have 10. Nae
Limits in Dunkeld, in partnership with Extreme Dreams were
the very first company to bring this latest whitewater activity
over from New Zealand, (the mecca for extreme sports). This
action sport has never been offered to the public outside of
New Zealand and Australia, until now!
River Bugs
are a cross between a white water raft and an armchair! River
bugs are a single person craft, made up of inflatable chambers
behind and beside the user, (known as a "bugger").
These chambers ensure that you stay on top of the water, while
extra thick padding turns colliding with rocks into a low-impact
dodgems ride. After learning a few basic skills, you will be
able to run the rapids, catch eddies, surf standing waves and
even pirouette!
We will
provide you with a wetsuit, buoyancy aid, helmet, booties, fins
and special webbed gloves. The gloves are designed to help with
paddling and steering the bugs. You will be taught how to operate
the craft, ie, steering, safety, etc and then taken out to play
on the river! If you only try one activity this year, make sure
it is "River Bugging".
When
can I do it?
April through
to October
Anything
else I should know?
