Hi,

I am working in Europe the last week in April and have the first weekend in May free (April 30-May 2). I can go most anywhere in Europe, but will be in Amsterdam Thursday and then will need to be in Hamburg Monday. Southern Germany seems to be a good option, but I want to open it up to suggestions. Ideally, I would like to playboat since creeking can be more stressful with people you don't know. I love big, fast waves! For perspective on skills, I am very comfortable in class 4 and run class 5 when with people that know the river. I live in northern Va and paddle the Upper Yough and am comfortable on the tighter technical stuff and also paddle the Gauley and am comfortable on bigger volume.

I also will need to demo / rent a boat and paddle, but can bring PFD, drytop, etc. I paddle a Jackson AllStar and Hero and would like to do the same over there.

Suggestions welcome!

Thanks,
Mark
