Whitewater ninja -Gustavo Toro

When most people think about getting better at kayaking they think about working on freestyle tricks or running harder lines on bigger rappids and that's what makes it soo hard to get better at kayaking. The one and only way to get better at kayaking is by becoming what some call a "Whitewater Ninja". You may or may have not heard this expresion before and may or may have not seen a "Whitewater Ninja" out on the river. If you haven't heard this expresion before, don't feel left out, because it's probably the best kept secret in the kayaking world. If you say you have seen a  whitewater ninja on the river you're either lying or it wasn't a very good whitewater ninja, because they're not supposed to be seen.

By now you might be wondering what a whitewater ninja is and how to become one. The best way to describe a whitewater ninja is by pretending kayaking is a video game. It doesn't matter how much game time you get the whitewater ninja is that kid that uses cheat codes and makes every body else feel bad by beating them without even trying. And if you really want to know how to become a whitewater ninja, I'm sorry, but if I told you...... I would have to kill you. All I can say is that it is kind of like in the movie "Karate Kid," the only way to learn kung fu, is not by doing kung fu but by doing other random stuff that you would think has nothing to do with it. So just have fun and hope that one day you can call yourself a whitewater ninja, meanwhile I'll see you on the river, but you probably won't be able to see me.
