Tao

It's with great joy that I have participated in the writing of an article in Paris Match last week.
Paris Match is one of the most famous and serious magazine in France.
The article, written by Julien Negui, deals of the famous and nice pro kayaker Tao Berman.
I even entitled to a quote in the article!

As every year the kayak comity of the region Midi-Pyrenees, and more particulary Ludo, organized a freestyle training camp in Millau.

The program was simple, clinics all the day and all ended with a really cool contest where everyone goes his best!!

See you next year and thank to all of you!!

An awesome BRAVO to Stefun Pion for this really good job, and to all the kayakers in this French Tour 2008, we spent very good moments on the water and I would like to thank you all for that!!

Slalom race - Réals, France

Finally... I'm back on the water and races after a forced shutdown... Ouuuh that's pretty good!!

And it was in Réals near to Béziers (France southern), on March 7th and 8th, I came back to the first "National 2" slalom race of the season.
Just 110 competitors were present on the hard slalom course of Réals. But it isn't a big deal, the paddling show was in Réals for sure!!

About me I'm pretty happy of my comeback, I win the first run in C1 with good paths despite too much touchs.
Same thing in second run with a good end of run, and again too much touchs.
I was 2nd... and finally 11th, judges gave me a 50 seconds penalty ...
A penalty on which I do not really agree, but it's the game...

That said, I'm pretty happy of my come back on the water!! I realize that I didn't, or just a little bit, lost my technics, and always wanted to paddling!!
However, I must work physicaly!!
