New kids boat from wavesport- Fuse 35
I was very surprised when I saw a new boat from wavesport-Fuse 35. It is small and lovely boat , I call it mini me.
I tried it in hole in our white water course Cunovo. I started with cartwheels on flat water. It was so easy! I never did so many cartwheels. In hole it was perfect. It doesn't have a big volume so I don’t need a big power for cartwheels, splitwheels and loops.
Big advantage of Fuse 35 is weight. It is very light and combination with its volume is a great. When I was looping it was…
Nina's remarks about the eurocups 2007
Euro cups 2007 This year euro cups were in Austria-Lienz, Sweden-Trolforsarna and Spain-Galicia. First in Lienz was the closest one, for us just 450km. I think that there were the most competitors. Draw hole was quite difficult but the best top of paddlers made there a great show especially mans final was very exciting. Peter won qualification, quarterfinal and also semifinal with very big score. Everyone thought that he will win but in knocked out final he took a 4th place so Simon and Seppi Strohmeiers (GER) and John Best (UK) had a opportunity to win. After a big fight Simon…

2nd Euro cup Sweden
First week of July was competition in Sweden in Trollforsarna. It was in the middle of nothing but nature and river were beautiful also play spot was great! After 3000km we were totally destroyed.
We came afternoon but we went to the water because there was light 24 hours so if you wanted to go to the water at midnight no problem. Thursday and Friday were competitions in boater cross and team race. We did not compete because we did not have a creek boat but we cheers for our friends Ingrid and Deb (both from wave sport team) and they…
