YFS at the Nene
Well it’s that time of year again, when the youth freestyle series starts up, with the first event being at the mighty Nene White Water centre on the 22nd of May.
I arrived at around 10am to realise it was very windy and not very warm, defiantly not a day for my shorty cag, which unfortunately, was all I had with me, but as the day went on, luckily, the sun decided to come out, to make a great days paddling!
The day started off with a few hours of paddling the course, practising in the features, getting ready for the comp later on, or if you weren’t quite as confident, there was a flat water freestyle session with help from some other paddlers, to help build up confidence.
After lunch, the competition started, held in the pour over for most of us, and further down the course for the novice category.
This year, I’m in the Under 18’s category, so have some hard competition from the likes of James Weight, Bren Orton and David Wild, so I knew it was going to be tough!

Once all the competition was over, it was time for the special event, which is always a great laugh! We had to get into teams of 5, and jump into the pour over, and collect 10 balls as quickly as possible, luckily, the water warm enough!
Well done to everyone who competed, hope to see you all at the next the next event, which is at Boulters weir on the 9th of July.

White water weekend.
Last weekend started with a early wake up call to get to Matt's house for 6am for the long drive to Wales to meet they guys on the course for 10am.
Day 1 started with a paddle down the Dee starting at Glyndyfrdwy to Mile End Mill Which was a great experince for the guys on the course with some of them even getting a chance to run Surpents Tail (Video will follow shortly) After a long day paddle it was time to head to the Bunk house that we were staying in for showers and food.
Day 2's destination was the Tryweryn with the sesion starting out with some eddy hoping and ferry gliding curcits, next we did some throw bag pratices while some of the group ran a section of the river, and then finished of with some surfing and 3 star skills on the lower part of the course.
Photos and video of the trip will be upload shortly
Hope every had a good time and I will catch you on the water
Cheers Alex
