I’ve always known that a sparring partner is a very important specialty in kayaking. Creeking or river running is almost impossible and dangerous without him and freestyling is quite boring if you are on your own. But it is not easy to find a soul mate you can share your enthusiasm with, especially in a discipline like freestyle. I am very lucky to have found my soul mate – my husband who is my kayaking partner and trainer in one person. I train with him all the time. I’ve trained without him just few times in our 12-year relationship. However this…

Hi, so its March.  Hehe I know that you guys might figured out this information also without me, but for me March was the month with big "M". I tell you why. Have you ever been injured? Maybe yes maybe no, but the point is: if you are injured and you can't do something that you love because of the injury, that is the worst feeling.  I love kayaking, I think I won't ever stop, even when I'm old, broke or what ever happens to me in the future. As you probably figured out before, I had some difficult injures in the past, like…

Po nejakom tom mesiaci sa opäť ozývam. Konečne začínam byť spokojný so svojou formou. Koncom novembra som podstúpil operáciu ramenného kĺbu a aby som stihol túto sezónu mal som teda čo robiť. Asi po dvoch týždňoch po operácii som už trénoval samozrejme s fixáciu zranenej ruky. V takej situácii človek vyskúša všetko, aby sa mu zranenia čo najskôr vyliečili. Ja som v tom období používal hlavne kĺbovú výživu Gelo-3 complex a  tomu som jedol MSM + Fit Cé vitamín. Táto kĺbová výživa a jej kombinácia by mala najviac vplývať na regeneráciu kĺbov. Vďaka pohybu a doplnkom som mohol zložiť ortézu skôr ako…

Cartwheel - Cartwheel definition : Two consecutive ends in the same rotational direction, and both ends at a vertical angle between 45° a nd 100°. Cartwheel is practically the spin executed with more than 45 degrees and less than 100 degrees vertical rotation. There are several ways how to start this move. Ones you get up on the foam pile you have to start with the strong back stoke.  edging the boat and moving the body weight to the front comes together in same time. Kayaker should watch upstream as long as its possible. When the kayaker is vertical on the…

Hi , as you know I am still injured and cant paddle so I got the job of the coach , babysitter and camera guy. I really like to do clips. Its a great way to show what you love to do which is for us kayaking. Gopro is the best action camera on the world and as you can see it can effort to do night time laps and also shoot 120FPS in really dark places! It's awesome.  Cant wait to test it on the snowboard in few weeks! Check out the video  See you  Peter

Ahoj moje meno je Peter Csonka a som profesionálny kajakár. Kajakovaniu na divokej vode sa venujem už dlhé roky. Asi ako väčšinu ostatných vrcholových športovcov tak ani mňa neminuli zranenia. Túto sezónu som si už myslel, že sa nič neprihodí, však na koniec sezóny to nie je tak náročné a predsa… Vždy keď to najmenej čakáš tak sa to stane. Na jedných z posledných pretekov tejto sezóny som si pri zle načasovanom zábere vykĺbil rameno. Vykĺbené rameno na divokej vode znamená väčšinou plávanie a teda nechcené opustenie kajaku. Perej, kde som musel vyplávať naozaj patrí medzi ťažšie a plávanie nebolo príjemné.…

These Championships were a bit different as the last ones. The first reason was that the peak of the season was the European Championships here in Slovakia just two weeks before our national champs. And the second reason was that this time it was a part of big festival – Riot river fest. It was a freestyle event where you could find disciplines as the river surfing, BMX, cross fit, freestyle kayak, kayak cross… We were tired from serious training so we wanted to make it more as a fun event. Peter was the main organizer of the kayak part of the event…
