Hey there! It's me, Jordan, again signing in for my second blog post here at keeners! It's crazy how fast this past week came and went. This week was amazing; between getting a loop on satler's on big water beat down thursday, homing in on my kickflips, and getting second in the B class today for competition friday, I would say that it was a very successful week! Today was competition friday and I had a couple bad rides on push button and baby face, I reedemed myself by scoring a fourteen on my last ride on push button that pulled me into second place! I have improved so much even just from last week; I am now comfident that I can catch the waves 100% of the time and my rides are getting longer and smoother. We have been working really hard on our edge control and it has helped me with my control on the waves as well as on my flatspins and shuve its. After seeing my improvement this week, I can't wait to see what I will be able to do next week. I am so fortunate to be able to work with instructors like Stephen Wright, Clay Wright, Joel, Tino, Rafa, and other wonderful kayakers. I know that the people that I meet here as well as the memories I make will stay with me for the rest of my life. I love keeners!
Untill next week,
sincerely,
Jordan

Competition Friday
Hello Dear Readers,
My name is Jordan and I'm a Keener here for the first time! I really love it here so far; every day is a new adventure about to unfold. The words "Anything can be possible just around the river bend" have never been more true. Today's adventure was Competition Friday, and it was my first competition ever. For the competition each kayaker got three tries on the wave for 45 seconds each during which time the kayaker tries to do as many tricks as possible. Each trick recieves a score and the points add up to get a final score. I was in the B class and this was my first competition so I was happy with my score of 4; I got recieved 1 point for catching the wave and 3 points for getting a 180 on the wave. Today was a first for me, but it definitely won't be the last. I can't wait to see what tomorrow holds, and what unfolds just around the river bend.
