Llanca seakayksymposium - pictures of day 2

On the second day of the Spanish seakayak-symposium I was also scheduled for giving a clinic on "assisted and self rescues" in the morning, and on "modern style rolling" in the afternoon. With new students and partly different co-instructors it was a refreshing experience again. In the morning I coached the group together with Stan Szlapka a seakayak-coach from France. The rolling clinic was with Phill Clegg (Britain), Bernhard Hillejan (Germany) and Marc Martin (from Spain). It's big fun being together with kayak-people from so many different nationalities. Languages change from moment to moment. English, French and German are the languages I can deal with, more or less - the rest works with "kayak-language" ;-). The only language I don't practice these days is Dutch. And I am writing this online-diary in English...

The "advanced rolling class" of the afternoon.

Self rescue with paddlefloat (a compulsory piece of kit in France) - not a real success.

The day on the water finished with a demonstration Greenland Style rolling.

The Greenland-style demo-team: Andreas, Hans, Hakola, Bernhard and Manolo.
But it's not only kayaking on this symposium:

Tasting local specialties - Bernhard is for the fire-water...

And the man with the morning-eggs!
