je suis super d'accord avec sam
je suis en N2( tous les ans au 1/4 de poils de cul de la N3) et je m'amuse à passer des figures comme ca car
c'est plus trippant. mais c'est sur, ça passe ou ça casse !


Thanks man, next year I'll try to answer in ...

Ah? Remarque, c'est pas super surprenant : hormis l'Allemagne, la France c'est le seul grand pays riche qui fasse du slalom un peu sérieusement ...

Moi,je ne serai convaincu que lorsque j'en aurai testé un adapté pour les personnes de 87kg et une taille de 1m90..que j'aurai fait des comparaisons avec les bateaux longs sur des parcours de :2min ;1min30..des parcours avec des figures tres serrées ;un avec des portes ...

Ok, I know it's a bit confusing:

Hi all,
Just a little story about the new upstream gates:

In 1996 everybody thought Oliver Fix paddled extreme, now every junior in Germany does the same moves.

In 1997 everybody thought Paul Rattcliffs limbo paddling was extreme. Now it's a World Cup standard.

In 2000 I saw a little french ...

Pour ce qui est de l'eau salée, en funboard ou simplement en wave-ski, l'activité est la même, (une embarcation sur l'eau, des vagues en pleine face...), il ne s'agit que d'un problème d'adaptation...

Hey, thanx Stic, I'll forward that to my coach. I told him already that it's ...

@ sam : you don't down my performances. I never naviguate in bourg but, it's a "dream" of course because bourg is a mhitis site. Do you run at athens in august ?

I'm not sure about the olympics yet. I took the 10th IOC spot in Augsburg, and 'nominated' myself with my 12th ...

merci pour ta comparaison playmobil ! si la vague d'athènes est 3 fois plus grande que celle d'augsburg, ca va arracher cet été pârce que j'ai navigué a augsburg (en avant les histoires...) et que la washmachine est deja bien puissante !

I'm sorry Sydney, didn't want to ...

quote:la vague sur les photos fait un peu penser a celle en haut du bassin d'augsbourg : la Washmachine.
@Sydney29: You're right, it does look like the 'Waschmaschine' in Augsburg, just 3 TIMES BIGGER. Compared to the Athens course, Augsburg is playmobil...

Cheers,
Sam

I guess I need some swimtraining in salty water... Let me see.. the Caribian will be nice:D, just need to convince my trainer:(

Merci Vincent pour la traduction et les photos!

A+
Sam

ps. I meant 'Diving' or 'Plongeon' with my 'freestyle swimming'
sorry for the strange words...

Hi to All!

Theori is nice... the practics are a lot better!!!

The new olympic course in Athens is f'king great! A smooth start with nice eddies on both sides ends up in a big stopper. Then comes a fast streaming part with little stoppers, eddies and waves everywere. This ends up in a big drop ...

Merci Vincent!!

I didn't know someone took pictures there..

The races in Penrith were a perfect training. High performance paddlers, and fast times. You can learn from mistakes, without loosing your place in the team, or loosing a World Cup. For me it was difficult to perform so early in the ...

Hi,
Cameron McIntosh, from the South-African team has one... Well, he got one sponsered from Coran Adison, together with his free-style boat. He could not paddle with it. He compared the boat with his Prijon Becker and was very slow with it. Now it's hanging on a wall, as a modern art piece ...

Waw, it's really nice to hear I'm not the only one with a healthy weight:D. I know Julien DEKARCZYK since my junior time, back in 1995/96, but I thought we were the only ones.:oops:

For all those healthy (some may call it heavy..;)) weight paddlers;
If any of you is going to watch one of the World ...

@GeantVert:

Hi,
Which Viking have you tested? I always cut down the last part of the tail. This is very important to the turning abilities of the Viking. Double Dutch had a 'original' Viking testboat; I tested it and really couldn't turn it. Now every Viking is cut down like my boat. Even 75kg ...

Thanx Alex...

Bonjour!!8)

Just a short comment to the Fuego.

Double Dutch has made some changes to the Fuego. Et voila; the Fuego II. Floris Braat from the Dutch Olympic team has tested it and is very satisfied. The Boat is now even easier to turn (more like the Optima), but hasn't lost it's high speed. Floris ...

Hi Richie,

Sorry for not writing in French, I hope you'll understand my english.

I had the same problems you have; I'm 90kg and 1,86m. Until last year I tried several boats: Big Boomerang from DoubleDutch, Bigger Black Mamba from Caiman.. The boats were ok when you're 80kg, but too small when you ...
