This is a freestyle coaching day which will have some top quality coaches and freestyle paddlers on hand to help you up your freestyle skills.
This is happening on the 25th Oct 2009

The day will be in two parts. The first part will be a series of skills work shops and the second will be a mini freestyle competition.

The event will take place at the new weir at Greensbridge Kilkenny which is one of the best features in the country for learning the foundations of freestyle kayaking.

The weir gives us lots two work on, it has two waves / holes which will serve up a nice selection of moves. Also we have a nice deep pool for those who want to get the flatwater moves zeroed in, in addtion to that there are some nice defined eddylines to use to.

This day is aimed at those dipping toes into freestyle and also those who are keen to progress what skills they already have.

The aim of the day is to have lots of fun while also learing some new skills with a bit of a fun comp at the end with medals for the winnersLaughing.

We will have have the music busting out bank side with a vat of warm drinks to keep you in the best of form.

This will be a pre registration event which will be opening in the coming days.

This is going to be a great day out and in these recessionary times being free makes it even better.

This spot is pretty central being 80 mins from Dublin, 90 from Cork , 80 Athlone so it would be savage to see a good mix of people attend.
All you need to have is an ability to roll and a willingness to have a go & get stuck in.
If you would like to help out on the coaching front drop me a line .
Adrian

How to double pump 101 from Adrian Shanahan on Vimeo.

Hi,

A few days back on of the guys from the UKRGB Bren (aka Peakfreak) posted up that there are no videos online that just explain the “double pump” and any that try assume too much previous knowledge from the person looking to learn.

I had being thinking of doing up a few wee how to tutorials but was being a bit lazy about it, I took this as a bit of motivation. I hit a part of the local river two cameras and tripod in hand. Sadly after I had uploaded the footage to my laptop I some lost it all , a fecking disaster so I flew back down to the river with my younger brother Keith “shaky hands” Shanahan and managed to get only 6mins of raw footage before the battery died. I managed to salvage this after all that.

This has kinda inspired me to put a bit of effort in and knock out a few more hoping to improve on the quality.

Stay tuned……

Adrian
