Stern Stall -Zac Cole

coming to keener on my first day was very intimidating kids where doing stern stall and bow stalls and the odd flat water loop and I was off trying to double pump.  I worked very hard trying to perfect my stern stall. I was always practicing on flat water and when coaches said I couldn't do it because it made me slow I would paddle harder and then practice after being ahead of the group.  However come the end of Thursday and Friday I had bad leg pains and found rolling hard and decided to not to try anymore. After doing two small sessions on baby face Friday, Saturday and Sunday I was coming back a couple of minutes early on Sunday with  Ryan and Riley two of the best kayakers trying to do there flat water loops.  I decided my leg was a lot better and fit to try and I finally hit my stern stall.  Somehow I made one when Anna told me to pose over a 3 minute period I wasn't even in the bow up position for a second and luckily she got it.  This starts hopefully the first of many tricks I can do on flat water
