Last night the Canadian mens team brought the heat! All five of our men made it on to Quarter Finals (top 30.), Nick won prelims and the rest of the team was right on his tail. Setting the bar high for the junior team…

It’s about 1:30 swiss time and I just got back from the wave where Guilaume LaRue won prelims for C-1. WOW! I hopped in my boat for a quick warm-up and stretch, and I’m feeling realllly reallllly good. Ready to charge it!

So, a little over three hours until the moment I’ve been anticipating for over a year. Honestly, I can’t wait, thanks to NRA I’v been in this comp situation to many times to count. I know excactly what to do, when, and how to do it.

Big thanks to all my teachers, especially Tino Specht and david Hughes. Also a big shout out to trop and Buck!

This ones for you boys!
Keego.
