some updates for the week. I'm finally attending my 3 stars kayaking course after god knows how many times of "i-think, i'm-gonna". Anyway, the 1st lesson was on sunday. Shag! hadn't been so drained and sucked of my energy for a very long time. It was a full day of kayaking from 10-6 and the only break was lunch.
Well so there're 7 kayaking mates in the class including me and gene. The coach was surprisingly or coincidentally Richard! The one who assessed me for 2 stars back in sec 2??? Donkey years ago man. Among our course mates, me and gene were the youngest, in other words i'm the youngest. The rest either 20 or above. kor kors and jie jies. But everyone was pretty friendly despite the age gap. lol... So the first thing we were told to do once we launched was to capsize aka wet exit. Here's the list of what we had been tru only on the 1st day: 1. T rescue 2. Eskimo bow rescue 3. Paddle Presentation 4. Low recovery aka Low brace 5. High recovery aka High brace 6. Eskimo Roll
Yep, it was hell loads to recap and learn. Richard mention that every single one of us will have to at least capsize 30 times before the day's training ends. Quite true ba, honestly i duno drank how much sea water, and duno how many gallons went up my nose. But got use to it pretty quickly. My personal favourite was High brace! shiok! got chance i take video of it. Looking forward to this coming sunday again. Another step nearer to my cert. heh!
