In this purpose, the kayakers had to choose the best line, manage their effort and use movements of water. Several of races allowed every kayakers to express themselves: race, Extrem Slalom and race by team.

The last weekend of March was held the first race of the Spanish championship of  Kayak Freestyle in Millau. It was an opportunity for Jo and me  to test their level internationally. Spain is among the European elite of the discipline.

At this game, Jo has done spoke of him by finishing second, just before the vice-European champion. I am little back, finish fifth.

We were there at first to see the level of our Hispanic neighbors, but also and mainly for fun and pleasure. With Gael Kernin and Ludo Escurier we did make a nice getaway night on Friday…

We will hold for this race the summer temperatures, good humor but especially the large level of Spanish paddlers.

Last weekend was held the Pau Freestyle Show, first race of Free Kayak Tour (French Championship) and first race of selections of the national Team for Worlds 2011.

Jo and me were there, not only to participate. Jo took the silver medal while I wasn’t far behind : third. What is a good omen for the rest of the championship but also for selection in the national team. There are only two places, but we will do everything to go both to the worlds. Boarder cross was also organized: I won, Jo being failed because of shoulder pain. Overall, I’m second, Jo finished fourth.
