Another post by Jahn high water experiences pt 1

On the weekend all keeners who are not taking a class (first aid) get the chance to go paddling. most of us took this opportunity to go paddling. The problem was that the water was getting higher and higher by the moment.when we got on the water it was around four feet. by the time we got down to the lunch sight it was around four and three quarters, by the time we got off the river it was around 5 and three quarters. This would sound amazing to most and I must admit that it was a bit interesting. In my opinion one of the most difficult rapids on this section of the river is called Coliseum. it has a bunch of holes and tricky moves to avoid them. so pretty much everyone in our group decided to scout it. when we got onto the rock to scout the rapid we could tell that it was way different. massive holes that was easily flipping twenty foot rafts. And the problem was most of the water was flowing to exactly where we did not want to be. I of course was voted to go first so that way if i died they would know which line not to take. I floated up to the top found my markers and went just barely missing a massive hole where I then eddied out right beside the hole and "set safety" the reason it is in quotes is because if someone swam or got stuck in the hole there was nothing I could do except watch and laugh. Part two to come. Except I am paddling now peace!

Jahn's first few days back at Keeners :)

Today was an amazing day, then again any day on this river with these coaches is amazing. However, there were some things that made it stand out. One of my favorite things to do was to rescue David Koyrakh's boat and paddle after we tried a new to us line. Since the person above has the best vantage point to watch carnage I decided to go last. David being amazing decided he wanted to get personal with the rock and decided to kiss it. After bringing his brand new boat the ledges on the side of garb took a nice bite out of the nose. He eventually climbed up and his paddle and boat flushed down stream. My man here Zach Ruben had an awesome time not even three hours through the day and he gets his first taste of left side Phills which caught all of us, he of course styled it. speech nights were tonight which went really well. I learned allot about all of my fellow keeners. now to a family shout out, father thank you for driving me up here. also I really miss my dog and hope it is still alive when I get home. Thats all for today I will be blogging next monday and I will hopefully have more to talk about as there will be more days. Until then :)

Jahn Pearson week 1

Hey guys its Jahn with the weekly post on Wednesdays. I thought instead of talking all about the paddling, I would talk about keener living. Keener living is truly amazing because you are right next to MCoy's and even better, baby face a really great wave. When you first get to keeners you will meet Anna your keener mom. Anna is a really good boater and a nice person in general.

Anna working in the Thunderdome. 

The accommodations at Keenerville are great ! You will be assigned a cabin which has 3 rooms with two beds a piece and a common area with a kitchen, couch and tv,  a bathroom and a kitchen table. I am living in Whitehouse, Yakistan belongs to the girls, and then there is Robertson's and Istanbul. Once you are here you will paddle with some of the greatest paddlers in the world. I must say that it is very humbling to paddle with such great paddlers. A side note is that no matter what, you will have an extremely hard time sleeping the first 2 nights.

On a personal note, I would like to thank my parents for allowing me to come here: dad I appreciate you.

David Aka muzzy thanks for the yo-yo and the stuff i really appreciate it.

Till next Wednesday- Jahn.
