French river guide licence and back in the rivers!!

On May 3rd to 6th, I was in L'Argentière la Bessée in the Hautes Alpes to take the exam of the french canoe kayak river guide licence, and enjoyed smelting time creeking with Raph Thiebaut who also gave me a place to sleep in his flat during the trip.

Despite the cold winter temperatures et snow falling around 1700m on the Hautes Alpes, I
took my exam with succes, river guide licence in the pocket!!!!
One good thing done!!!

Was also time for me to come back on the rivers and this with one of my freeride kayaking mentors, Raph Thiebaut.
We paddled 3 sections, I never ran 2 of them previously, pretty cool!!!
Thanks a lot Raph!!!
