First 4 Days Of Keeners: By James Van Geilswyk

As a first year keener, it can be an extremely stressful few first days. In this blog I will explain the average first week of keeners. 

Sunday is the drop off day, and the evening is mostly orientation. Now it can be a fun finding out who you will be bunking with. For the most part this day is very calm compared to the next.


Monday is warm up and more orientation. You’ll be running the river, which is fun. Being in session 2 we ran the main at -0.30 on the gauge.


Tuesday will be more fun than Monday. At this point your kitchen should have run out of eggos, I know mine did. Because of this you will resort to eggs and bread. The river run is faster and you will have more time to surf and have Stephens least favourite activity, mandatory fun time. 


Wednesday is mostly the same as Tuesday except for the amazing races. The relay on McCoy’s is the best of the 3 we did however that number is subject to change.


Thursday is the BEST. Big water beatdown is the best day of them all. You shall have fortune of surfing left and right side Phil’s if you dare. Afterwards you’ll do the get out in hard places game. If you fail you’ll have a good swim. 


This was my blog about the first week of keeners. If you go, have fun.
