Well I still havent got a post up from Worlds or Canada but heres something from last weekend, Sluice Rodeo.
Sluice is a wave/hole just outside Dublin city. Very popular with the locals but it's always been my least favourite spot to compete at, just because I could never throw my usual moves as it was so differn't to other features.
The final Irish League competition was held at Sluice last weekend, it was a fundraiser for the Irish team and I was picking up a kayak so I was defo going.
Found the wave a lot more fun with new skills I picked up over the summer and I really enjoyed the Jam format of the competition. 15mins a heat with 5 in each heat. You really get to go for it in that length of time and its great fun when you have some friends with ya.
Anyway I was delighted to win my heat and progress to win the finals in the end. It was my first senior competition to place first and what better place to place then at sluice my old nemisis! Good friends Dave and Connor place 3rd and 5th, great Limerick results!
Finished off with some DVD's in Jenny Kilbrides place Outdoor Evolution in Wicklow. Afterwards we hit the town and had a mad night out in some crazy night club in Blessington! Great weekend.
Over the next few months we have a few competitions comming up, Colligan Games, Glens race and I guess team trials will be held before christmas too. Looking forward to getting back out on the water now, the rain is on the way:)
