would be great to see Alan Rough pick up a winner‘s medal after all these years. but the Dons have yet to concede a goal in this competition and without Gordon Rae the Edinburgh side may be hard pushed to prevent Alex Ferguson picking up the one domestic title that has so far eluded him.

Surl canoeing is a relatively new discipline (12 years old) which has rapidly developed since it was lirst adopted as a weekend tun pastime by riverand sea canoeists.
The relatively high volume kayaks prove unsuitable tor this sport because at their tendency to nose-dive into the wave. As a result, a new cralt was designed known as the “surl shoe' with an appearance similarto that of a Dutch clog. This boat is considerably shorter and hence more manoeuvrable than the conventional kayak and has a blunter upturned nose to overcome the submarine tendencies at its river brother. High tech has now overtaken this with a streamlined ‘surt ski' which
is used tor almost all sorting. Rather like a short surl board (approx 711 in length), the paddler sits on rather than in the cratt and is held there by lap straps, toe straps and an incredible determination. An arrangement ot skegs help the surl ski to 'grip' the surface enough tor the skilled paddler to simulate the glamour ot the Californian coast in a series at dramatic manoeuvres dipping through the wave and looping-the-loop.
The new style crafts couple with the high standards at the paddler make this well worth a diversion it you’re in the area so long as you don't mind getting wet!
