My time at Keeners - Fisher Jacober

Our first week of Keeners session two 2022 was amazing. I have been really enjoying the coaches and all my fellow Keeners. We have had one COVID case, but so far we have been able to contain is because, the Keener that tested positive move into an open cabin immediately. Wednesday was race day, we did a relay race in McCoy's rapid. And then a safety race in the Lorne rapid. 

Thursday’s big water bacon beatdown day. The name explains it, but it’s when you go into huge features of the river and just hold on and learn to deal with them. We did most of the beating down in Phil’s hole, which is this huge hole that is pier safe because if you swim there is a huge Eddie to go and swim into. 

Friday is competition day, we have a surfing competition in McCoy's rapid, there are two good waves in right now, Baby Face and Corner wave. 99% of us surfed and competed in Baby Face. Everyone gets tow videoed runs, we then come back to Keenerville and score them. 

Then Saturday and Sunday are free paddling days unless you are doing the Wilderness First Aid training. So far I have had an amazing week at Keeners.
