Keeners is an awesome kayak program for some of the best young kayakers in the world. At keeners there are lots of fun activities every day! My favourite activity at keeners is Big Water Beatdowns Thursday. On Thursday's keeners try to surf and get beatdown in the biggest scariest holes and waves on the river. This Thursday we got beatdown in Phill's hole and on minibus. Minibus was an awesome beatdown because it was super trashy but flushed out the tongue.
There is also a get out in difficult places game where you try to get out of your kayak in the sketchiest places to practice for having to get out and rescue your friends. We also got beatdown in the whirlpools on Butchers Knife. The whirlpools were so cool to get beatdown in because they swirl you upside down for 10 seconds and then shoot you to the surface. Watching kayakers in whirlpools is so cool because they disappear and swirl around underwater and pop up down stream. The only scary part of whirlpools is that you are not allowed to swim.
