Rich giving it the thumbs up. Whoop.

The slides were super if a little low. After the slides was a lush drop that that we ran several times trying to put into practice what Simon said we should do. Although it was a small drop, we spent time discussing the line and where to put in the key strokes. We all went slightly left to right with a right boof, trying to see the “window”.

Going for the follow through stroke.

Me reaching for a boofI missed my follow through stroke the first time.

I missed my follow through stroke the first time.

Missing that follow through stroke meant that I landed on the wrong edge. I thought it was all sorted, but I guess I’m still learning…that’s the one of the things I love about kayaking…the constant challenge to improve. The skills are there its  just getting that  mental side down then the muscle memory then the timing.

Rich and Chris had some really nice drops. Lovely.
