Léa's first play boating feelings !

Hi everybody !

Here I am, at the Keener program, discovering for my first time freestyle pleasures. What was quite unthinkable a few days ago as I still were in France. Actually I decided to join this program two days before its beginning to develop new kayak skills and especially to play differently with the water than I am used to as a slalom paddler.
   My first days in that type of boats were awesome, and full of new feelings. Also the place is magic, beautiful landscapes, incredible waves, and world-renowned paddlers. It's maybe the best river I've ever run, and the most complete one. Loads of different types of waves as well as right side Phils were I got hardly beat down -amazing feeling of getting out of control by the way-
   Yesterday was Freestyle Friday, so I competed on Garb -which is truly my favorite wave- and made some spins and roundhouses. Next goals ? probably blunt and donkey flips, but still training some basics before trying some new tricks, and of course improve my english level as well.
