Bryan Kirk commented on Michele Ramazza's blog post Recon 83 deserve the title of a good race boat

"I agree Michele! I just had my best steep creek race ever at the Homestake race near Vail at the Gopro Games - after 2 months off from creeking to train for freestyle team trials. I got 2nd in the Recon 93 - only 2.5 seconds off from Olympic slalom…"

Recon 83 deserve the title of a good race boat

The first impression on the new Recon has been of an easy and forgiving boat. But I wasn't personally sure about it's performance in short and long creek race.After a normal training time on the new model I can now affirm that the Recon is a very good race boat as well. How can I say that? I just won 3 race in a row in the alps with differt race format: a long distance class IV run, few boaterX like the Sweet Rumble, a short sprint on class V and a 26 minute marathon with a mass start.I never…See More

OutdoorMix 2013 (France) report

All the rivers were quite high and the valley was very nice under the spring sun.The first edition of the OutdoorMix, the multisport event in the Durance Valley (France), has shown its potential to grow this year. The organization has done a very nice job organizing all the races in time and respecting the expectations of all the kayakers looking for hard and technical races. A lot of others…See More

The end of the dams...

This is the reason why the dams are a very stupid way to spend money in the river...I think in this video shows clearly the normal death of this walls built in the river. The river don't like concrete in its bed. I do believe the only possible action to slow down rivers is to create natural looking rapids with big rocks. This video has been recorded in a dam regulated river around Bologna, Italy where this kind of dams are unfortunately very commons.See More

The Angrogna run

In Piemonte there are many rivers flowing down the west Alps. The most famous are the Chiusella, Soana and Stura. However there are other very nice creeks where is hard to find water but lucky kayakers can find spectacular runs.The 2012 winter has been quite dry here in Italy. However, this spring the rain has decided to fill up some rivers..so the last week-end I decided to move to west Alps near Torino, to paddle with the Adidas team member David Arnaud the local runs. The rain started on…See More

Kayaking after the heavy snow falled in Italy

After the super-heavy snow falled in Italy in February 2012 the temperature rised quickly and the fast melting of the 2.5 meters of snow rised the water on few Italian rivers. Generally these rivers have water only due to the rain...but for the first time we managed to paddle in the Appennins with good snow melting flows!This year a record snow falled on the area where I live, in Italy. In some villages the snow reached 3 meters and some people had to go out from the second floor windows of…See More

How to: turn the boat, the circular stroke.

The kayak rotation comes from the power of the arms. Wrong, a good kayaker is able to turn it mainly using the body rotation to direct the boat. Only through the comprehension of this movement is possible to make a big step forward in the kayak technique.One of the first rules to be observed while you are learning to kayak is that your instinct is often probably wrong. Everybody try to turn the boat using the power of the arms to do more and more powerful strokes. It is much easier think that…See More
