CANI paddlefest
Movile
This year paddlefest was held in movile in donegal, the forcast looked to be in favour for sea kayakers and the surfers, but, with the recent lack of rain, it was set to be a scrapey weekend for the white water lads. The plan this year was a river/sea trip on saturday and then two clinics on sunday. On saturday morning myself and all the other white water boaters (plus a couple of great coaches up from ICU) headed for the mourne, known for keeping it's water level. it was pretty low but enough to give us some fun, with the fisheries having some challenging eddies. i was able to try out the JEFE CHICO, what a boat! (this weekend resulted in the purchase of one!) On the sunday roughly the same group of people headed for the mourne again. i ended up doing 'dynamic WW paddling' with Mr Olaf Obsommer, and WW safety and rescue with Dave Caroll. Both morning and afternoon were equally enjoyable and got some hot tips from both of the guys.
Thanks to CANI for putting together such a great weekend!
