Kayaking in a pool?  Most people think this may sound pretty lame and down right silly.  I think the exact opposite.  Pool sessions have done wonders for my paddling.  Over the past two years, I have solidified my roll and worked on countless other techniques and useless moves. 

For most, pool sessions are a way to just get in your boat and socialize.  For a few Chicago area paddlers, pool sessions means a rigorous workout where we leave everything in the pool.  These are exciting times for relatively newbie paddlers with hopes of rising in the ranks.  Adrian, Buffalo Bill, and I have been working together to make the most of our time in the pool.  We have mastered the cartwheel and bow stall http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra5R3Nca7t8 and Adrian has just dialed in the front loop http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPAPSTR_QyQ and Cody and I are scrambling to catch up.

What’s next on my plate?   WEST VA
