they are teaching how to kayak in Costa Rica, wonderful option! Our home now is nice small hut with nearby
kitchen and all we need at beatiful place at the top of the hill with wonderful views!
We woke up really early - just after 6 am, we thought it's becouse of Jet lag but we've been
getting up at similiar time next days also, so it's just different time zone and
we are probably just setting our day for Sun time. As we were up early we had some time to
enjoy our breakfest and prepare everything. It's so great to eat fruits with great taste
again! Bananas, Pineapple & Avocados are my favorite! We left for our first river - Pacuare. We are using chasing jaguar guide
where you can find really nice descriptions river, take outs, put ins and how to get there. For warm up we started with
lower section - which is said in guide to be class III. As the shuttle was really long we
used that time for puting stickers at our boats and repeating safety things.
The rivers here are really amazing as the landscape is different and we are surrended by jungle.
We had our first adventure as Jano had unlucky roll and his helmet got pulled down by water
and he hit the rock which result later with two stiches.
Run was nice and easy, though quite long - it had 23 km with some flat sections between.
Also the shuttle took over 1 hour and as we finished at 5 pm - we've been waiting later
in darkness as it's getting dark around 5:30. While waiting for car we kept practicing
Z-drags.
For next day we got invited to join Costa Ricas Freestyle competiotion at Rio Revantazone.
We met with our friend from World Champs - Jonathan followed him to place of event. It was
happening near private coffee plantage but owner let us in without problems to get to our
playspot. We met there alot of great people and had awesome fun playing together in nice
hole. We also had a pleasure to judge the event for guys ! After that we kept playing there
but water rised and i hadnt my spraydeck properly on and hole pulled it off when i did entry
move and i had to get out of the boat so it turned out quite funny. :)
Then we run the river down which was class III/IV with some really funny places!
At day 3 we went for Rio Pejibaye for second part of the event - kayak race. We also run the
course and afterwards we went for upper section. River was pretty much class III but we
got in at wrong place and we had to get through the jungle which made put in class V!
As we got familiar with our boats we decided to start with some more serious staff so we
got back to Pacaure river but for Upper section. The guys from America we met - Todd
and Brandon joined us and were our guides. It was 8 miles run of class IV/V , there been
some scouting and some jumps. I had also fun as i got some rodeo in boat doing some
orbits. But i managed to get out without bigger problems.
For next days we decided to go for rest days to Caribien sea. So now when Im writing it
we are driving beside ocean, it's quite cloudly but warm and waves are looking wonderful!
We ofcourse got two playboats from our friend - Mario, so we will have some fun !
