Greenland Week Competition Done!

The Greenland Week Competition was a blast! Thank you to Kayak Academy for putting on the event. They put a lot of hard work into it, and it shows their dedication to kayaking. The competition was a wonderful way to honor traditional kayak hunting cultures. After the competition, a lot of people told me they were inspired to train for next year.

My hard training paid off with first place finishes in the ropes, harpoon throw, rolling, and overall winner, as well as second in the race.

Training is Done!

With harpoon throwing practice and a lap around Newport Bay today, my training is done. All that is left is the competition. I'm all packed and ready to start the long two-day drive tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to meeting and hanging out with a bunch of other people who like Greenland style kayaking.
