From Lipno we went to Plattling for few days even though we are a bit sick of Plattling since we spend too much time there already. So we didn’t go home and returned back to the Czech Rep. for the freestyle ARF cup in Pilsen. The event went well for us. During the qualification on Saturday Nina became second even with not such good rides. I finished first in the quali and also first in the semi finals. On Sunday the freestyle finals took place. Nina managed place 1, which means she won the whole Czech Cnawr Cup. I also finished…

There is a play spot in Sopotnica, which is very different to others. This one is probably the only one of its kind because it is all mechanical. Few years ago the Spindler Family realized they needed a spot for training so the only chance was to build one. I am not going to tell you the history but still it is an awesome story how they managed to build that monster machine for making a nice training spot in the middle of some kind of pool. Because I had to teach a kayak lesson and we would have liked to…

The region around Lipno’s dam is well known as a Czech holiday destination. It offers plenty of activities such as biking, swimming, hiking, canoeing and it is close to the Austrian border so you can go whitewater rafting or canoeing to the Inn River. But not so many people know that Lipno is the best Czech whitewater river. The dam is holding the water so most of the year this river is dry. Once a year when it’s possible to kayak the dam releases water. It is the biggest Czech whitewater festival and you can meet there everyone who has a…

First time we went to Norway two years ago. We trained on the Skjak Wave for the Worlds 2009. We had a great time there, but we didn’t see much from the country. This time we planned to discover more. We took creek boats and freestyle boats and started our trip.Our way to Norway started from Friedrichshafen, where we were on the Outdoor Show. By the way the show was really good! It was even bigger than last year. We had a barbecue party at the adidas booth and met many friends.But back to our Norway trip. We had…

It was very hard job to keep train for Worlds. We were on the water every day almost 365 days a year! We were really looking forward to have it over. It is not easy to go for holiday for us because we just can’t lie on the beach. So we decided to go to Soča. We took our “long” boats instead freestyle kayaks. Soča is beautiful place and well know in between kayakers. We spent there few day and had a beautiful weather. Did some sections like Srpenica, Slalom course, Otona and even we went hiking to Kanin. We took…

You probably know that we were preparing a lot (the whole season) for the World Championships which took place last week on the famous Plattling wave.This year I spent almost all the time I could in Plattling. Still, I think there were few people living there for half year, which was, I think, a little tot crazy. Funny is also that for the most time there were very low water levels. Nina and I decided not to be there at too low water levels , not just because the composite boats are suffering then, but also because the hole is…

Last weekend the Austrian Championships in freestyle kayaking were held in Lienz. This is our favourite freestyle event in which we participate every year. Last year they organized the European Championships there as well.We came Wednesday evening. Two days training were enough for us because we know this play spot quite well. It is not that easy and especially beginners face problems. Peter and I were doing well during the competition and ended up on 1st place taking home the prize money. We were also working as judges so it was quite a tough day.I don’t know what is…

Finally I’m back home after more than a week tripping around spots and competitions. My past 3 weeks were a little exhausting because I became pretty sick. My doctor gave me some antibiotics to take for 7 days but I felt like I had to train so I didn't rest at all, which definitely was a mistake because my arm started to hurt as well (infected ligaments).Read more here!

The World Champs are slowly coming! We still have a little bit than one month for our preparations. We are training for this big event the whole season, which we started quite early by training twice a day. It is hard to stay motivated so you need to change places quite often. We spent a few weeks in Plattling, where the World Champs will take part.Now we train at home in our local playspot in Cunovo. The hole here is quite difficult, which means an advantage for us. If you learn how to do moves here it will be easier in…

A few weeks ago we had been able to show our latest movie of our trip through Zambia at the biggest outdoor film festival in Slovakia.The "Horyamesto Festival" took place in the Palace Cinemas in Aupark, which is a big shopping center with a few big cinemas inside. That means lots of advertisment and visitors. Thanks to the great orga team, which made all that happen. We had also been able to join some interviews with newspapers and radios, which is great because we are pushing very hard to make this sport better known in Slovakia and I’m sure this is…

Last week we had to go for Kuchl even we knew that the temperatures would not rise more than 7 degree. Over the night we had even -4 which is cold for sleeping in the car. We are very lucky that one of our sponsor ( Ateso ) helped us with the car heating which makes the sleeping very comfortable over the cold nights! The waves was working pretty late this time , they started around 12 so we had lot of time in the morning and we could wait for good temperatures, because as you can see on the picture…
