I've just got back from Paddler CoOp at Palmer rapids where I've had a fantastic few days helping out on one of their kidactive programs. I am blown away by what I've seen the children achieve in only a few days. It was a bit weird getting in a kayak after so long but I had fun ( someone had to 'safety test' the seal launch and and I even practiced my roll !
They have been ferry gliding, doing 's' and 'c' turns and have been swimming down the whitewater as well as running a section of the lower part of Palmer Rapids. I've taken lots of videos of their kayaking but can't seem to downloaded it onto the blog at the moment. I've put a few photo's on for now but have loads more and am hoping to get the video's organised soon.
Dan,the instructor, was fantastic and Shawna and the & the team made me feel so welcome. I'm back at Wendigo Lake now and we'll be getting ready for the trip tomorrow. The crew seem in fairly good spirits but watch this space...
