The First Day Back - Hunter Gibson

It feels so good to be back. I have missed kayaking so much. Last year I was really scared of the bigger white water and missed out on opportunities, this year will be different. But back to the title, today was a little slow compared to most days with just the warm up and making everyone comfortable. I have not kayaked since I was here last year. I only just got a boat a few short months age (a Titan genesis, if you are interested most use jackson). So it has not seen white water until today but it took to it like a duck to water. I was very happy with how I did.
I am already doing better than at the end of last year. I remember reading a statistic that said if you think about something, even if you never do it, you get better at it, this is completely true. I can confirm this. I have already thrown half a cartwheel that I would never dream of doing last year. as soon as I got on a wave I had a huge smile on my face, even though my feet were completely numb from my outfitting, I was overwhelmingly happy. This is what keeners is about.
