"And the instant in which he was able ceased to know ..."
Jack London

The curve of the channel of Penrith is magic and will turn more and different colors. The stretch of sky that is reflected hosts spectacular clouds or a burning sun. Every time I'm over there I feel immersed in a dream and everything that surrounds me is particularly light. In the distance you can see the "Blue Mountain". The name of the shortcut is "number 2" which is then further down the "main wave" and upstream of the "deep fryer - deep fryer!

This morning we worked in that section and the scenario has put us all in a good mood. The light still tenuous early hour of the day offers the right concentration for the technical quality, especially if performed by athletes with so much energy in the body. We have set as a target of the day listening to the water and the subsequent response by the paddler. In fact, this stretch the water is never smooth and always changing, so the response strategies to be decided at the precise moment they happen, as long as it is able to pick the right stimulus.
The technical interest emerged during the exercise was to use the same side of the blade without removing the water. I try to explain. I proposed to them a lift by coming right out and left in an area where water is not difficult but has some strange return. The idea was to address the rise with the shot off right, so downstream, taking advantage of the speed of the water first and then the small area of \u200b\u200bdead just inside the pole. Now the problem arose because there was no exit opportunity and time to turn the hook shot to get out of that situation pretty hot! The solution was found leaving the same large-propulsion in water, which will go has become a valuable starting point for the canoe to turn allowing the body to perform a small lateral movement to the next flash output. Second

proposed a series of doors to comb Angled water fast enough and with subsequent ascent to the left on the "fryer". Here, too, after several attempts to open the door directly, we opted for a shift of the tail on the third pole in order to be able to enter directly on the slope using a curl on the right side. Here too, the times did not allow the possibility of removing the blade from the water to hook the wave-curl. The solution has been found in this case, keeping the blade in the water after the military left forward propulsion.

The moral of the story is: think and act from C1 when you have time and can change suddenly.

Tomorrow we can breathe fresh air, exciting, amazing ... start tomorrow's Australian Open more than 300 athletes representing 20 nations, not bad for a start to a season that promises very exciting.
