3* Training at SY – 19th May

We covered efficient forwards paddling and turning with speed and momentum maintained. On the rapid itself we covered breaking in and breaking out of eddys and ferry gliding over the flow from the bottom to the top of the rapid. I was in my H2 not in the orange peril which made life a lot easier. I managed to not go for a swim at all or even need to roll, I had a few low braces for support but other than that I was pretty stable which was great because I still did everything that the others did! Chris went for a nasty looking swim, went under and while he was there went over some rocks and he insisted he was fine but im sure he had a mild concussion!

We took loads of boats and it wasnt just kayak either...Dave and Craig did some canoe work...the most weirdly loaded canoe trailer ive seen !!
