Hey everyone, my name's Kira Antonyshyn and I'm from Toronto. This was my first week at Keeners this year and it feels great to be back! I didn't realize how much I missed paddling until I was back on the Ottawa. This year the water level is pretty low creating a completely different river than what I was used to paddling in last year. I surfed Garb for the first time this past Monday and it felt awesome- it was the beginning to a great week. The other Keeners in this session are really cool and I've had a lot of fun getting to know them. The instructors we've had this past week have all been really great as well; I've only been on the river with them for five days and I've already learned a lot. I can already tell that I'm a lot more comfortable paddling here, I was even able to paddle down the last four major rapids of the Main Channel backwards. I have been working on getting my bow stall and I'm hoping that next week I'll be able to get a blunt and a kick flip. Overall, I've had a fantastic week and I can't wait to keep kayaking.
Until next week,
Kira
