It's Tim and Tom, the dynamic duo, writing the first ever Keener joint blog. This week we worked on a lot of new tricks, braving the whitewater gods as we surfed Garb. Tom worked on his Blunts (a vertical 180 on a wave) and Tim worked on his airscrew (an aerial 360 degree twist on a wave.) For me this was an amazing time. I have learned a lot both on and off the water, with english and my boat. I would thank to everyone for this amazing experience. I would especially like to thank Anna, the Keener Coaches, my parents, and my uncle Philipe Doux. -Tom
This has been my first week at Keeners and as usual at has been amazing. I joined in to a session that was already tightly knit, but they were very friendly and welcomed me right in. It was great to be able to see a lot of my old friends from prior sessions. At first, my paddling skills were a little rusty, but with the help of my coaches I was able to regain my comfort on the wave and even surpass the point I was at last year. The progress of my friends in their paddling galvanized me to work harder and try to catch. Overall, it has been a great week and I am beyond "stoked" to be here. -Tim
