My name is Lorenzo Vellutino. I am 14 years old. I am from Peru, and I am in the Keeners program because of the Juanito de Ugarte Scholarship, which I won.
This scholarship is because Juanito de Ugarte, who was a coach here at the Keener Program passed away two years ago when he was kayaking in Chile. In honor of him, Sandra de Ugarte, his sister, Anna Bruno, Carmen Kuntz, Benny Marr and many others founded this scholarship, which pays to bring one kid from Peru to Keeners each year. This year, I am the winner of this scholarship, and I really really like it.
I was super excited to come to the Keeners Program so that I could learn more and get better at Kayaking. And this is already happening!
So Today, I did my first loop and it was AWESOME! Today, also, we swam a big and huge hole. And when you go there, you go so deep, you feel your ears are going to explode! After that, you need to go up to take some air! After that, we need to go downriver, and there is a big hole. I surfed that hole, and also I did a face surf- and I was there for around 25 seconds. That was so exciting! Face Surf is when you surf a wave upside down with your face in the water.
Thank you to Level Six and Benny Marr, Anna Bruno, Carmen Kuntz, Sandra de Ugarte, Wilderness Tours, OKS Keeners, and everyone who donated gear and money to let me be part of this program! Thanks For All the Stuff! I love it!
