This weekend we did something different. We took a course in river descent and slalom. For us all and the accompanying wife and children of one guy, there was also a 10 km raft descent. Andris (our instructor) and Gustavo (16) my son went on a kayak, and all others on the raft. I had a chance to take some videos on the second day, of the slalom session, where Andres and my son Gustavo practiced. That part of the course was too much for me, and I just sat and watched. The previous day I was happy doing crossings and I capsized 4 times and rolled in each. Doing the crossings and still pass with different routines through the doors exceeds my actual capacity. Hope you enjoy the short videos. Andris is in the blue boat, Gus in the black and orange. I am in a white Perception. http://outdoors.webshots.com/album/564032467RMONYI?start=0 Seems like Ill have to switch sport from sea kayaker to father promoting my sons progress on the sport.
