When you are teaching with NZ Outdoor Guides with school students and you see someone who is keen to follow on with kayaking. What advise do you give them? Keep on keeping on! The only way to get better at kayaking is to keep doing it. This is usually followed up with information of a kayak club or group of kayakers in their area that they can connect with to help them along their journey.
Organizing and competing in the NZ Extreme Race series is right up there on the start of my list. From there I am travelling back to Ottawa, where I am hoping to have a spot in the White Water Grand Prix in Quebec. I am currently sitting as the first alternate, so only time will tell. Either way the Canadian Spring is always guaranteed to be a good time. Sometime after that, I am hoping to get back to Norway, before work in July/Aug takes me back to the Ottawa. A sneaky month of surfing somewhere in Central America is always in the back of my mind, but I feel like I have already exhausted my ability to plan that far ahead.
Finally, I know we have some good plans ahead Cheers Tyler, it’s been an awesome seven years for 2014. Can you give us a bit of a run down on on the river and being able to share our missions what might go down this year? with the New Zealand Kayak Magazine. Looking forward to more.
