Week 1 at OKS Keeners - Judah Franczy

OKS Keeners is a life changing experience that can help up kayakers learn and perfect many skills as well as becoming an overall better human being. At the moment it is week one of my Keeners experience. So far I love it. Between surfing, tricks, and rescue I have already progressed immensely. You get to paddle with world class coaches that can teach you almost anything you want to know. The Ottawa river is also a world class river that has some of the best waves and rapids. It’s very deep with big pools after every drop, which make for ideal safety conditions. The rapids range from class I to class V. Having a big range of difficulty is great for people to push their limits and put themselves out of their comforts zones.

For most Keeners the best day of the week is big water beatdown Thursday. On this day you will paddle around the river going in the biggest holes you can find and trying to get massive beatdowns. Doing this may be scary at first, although it teaches you how to deal with curtain situations for when you start paddling harder whitewater. Overall Keeners is an superb program for anybody trying to level up their freestyle kayaking skills.
