Back home: Woerdense Singeldagen

I just returned from a short break of two weeks in northern France. Without a kayak -alas- and no internet connection, but it gives enough inspiration for new blog posts. That will follow later.
First an announcement of the Woerdense Singeldagen: lots of activities on and around the water in the city of Woerden this weekend.
Kayak club Woerden (KV Wyrda) is also involved: they lend out canoes for free. Anyone who wants is invited to make a paddle tour around the Singel. And the big surprise, undoubtedly the absolute highlight of this weekend ;-) is a rolling demonstration of Hans (me!) on Sunday afternoon!
I am very honoured with the invitation, just getting a little a nervous about all the crowds gathering along the Singel next Sunday to look at my humble solo-presentation... Am I so special?

Glat to read you back, Hans. By the way, which is your favourite roll?

Hi Derrick!
... the public was so impressed, they forgot to aks. I suppose ;-)

Hi Wenley!
I have two favourites at the moment: (1) high speed handrolling and (2) the butterfly-roll in slowmotion.
The "sunday-afternoon-passing-on- public" however, was simply astonished by the fact that it is possible to get back up in the first place. I am affraid they did hardly notice the more stylish aspect of my performance... They will have thought: "why is this guy making it himself so difficult?"....
