Ahoj všetci, Tak konečne máme tú možnosť sa ozvať a obnoviť našu stránku. S pripojením to tu nie je ľahké a tak komunikácia troška viazne. Naša cesta ako vždy bola dlhá a nudná , do kempu Eden rock resort pri meste Jinja sme došli až po 2 hod ráno, postavali sme stany a šli sme spať. Na ďalšie ráno sme si objednali taxík aby nás zobral do Jinji na nákup potom rovno do dolného kempu Hairy Lemon. Ako Vám už je asi jasné hneď sme išli na vlnu. Níl ma perfektné stavy , ráno je vlna trosku zelenšia a po obede…

Many of you know that the White Nile river is one of my and Nina’s favorite river . This winter it will be my 3rd time over there and we can’t wait to go there. Unfortunately the river will be dammed in the soon future.

Next year will one of the Euro cups on…

Finals!!! At 10:30 started the finals at the Welle brucke course. Top 50 men’s had their chance to be the best extreme kayaker in the world. We had 2 rides, first run was a qualification run and also a knockout for 25 kayakers. The think was that the first and the second run counted together for the top 25 men’s than if you had your second run worst that the first one you still wasn’t the winner. I think it was an interesting rule, because it shows who the best one is and not just who had luck. The race was…

Our competition’s season is over. This year was very successful for us but we did a lot for it. Train every day because you know you have a big competition is not just physical very hard but it is very mentally hard for you. Now we can rest for while and paddle just for fun without stress. We weren’t home for long time but first weekend after we came back from Thun, we went with our friends to Kuchl (our closest wave, 400km far from us in Austria). We had nice weather and made a grill party in the evening. Wave…
