the dopest kid at keeners (kalem kennedy)

yo yo yo its the dopest kid on this plantet checking in to do this blog post.im going to be telling you about  some of the vocab that the keeners use on the river or in other words just the name of tricks we do. The first on is pretty easy its called a spin and all you do is use your paddle and your torso to staqrt your boat in a spinning motion.Your boat will move 360 degrees in one direction, until you are back to where you started. The next easiest thing you could probably do is a round house.  It is almost the same thing as a spin but you only spin 180 degrees, so you land facing backwards. Your boat has  to be bettween 1 and 45 degrees off elevated off the water as you rotate.The last thing i'll be telling  you about it called a blunt. It's just the next step up from a round house, but  your boat will be elevated between 45 and 90 degrees off the water.
Keener Coach Seth Ashworth demonstrates a Blunt on Garb. 

 You can also do a clean blunt which is the same thing, just without using your paddle. You can also do an air blunt all you need to do is get air- so that your boat leaves the water completely. So yeah ist pretty dope and so is keeners i'm having a great time and learning lots of new stuff.
