France was awesome to kayak this first part of the year.

Starts with the amazing Roger's wave : roger

The low winter water levels allowed Charnay to work too, but weathers were so crazy (mid January): charnay

February was a warmer month which was nice to prepare the french competition season, check it out :

Result 3rd after a crazy final once again.

Those results open me the french freestyle team for the 4th time in 4 years. Just happy and preparing a Canadian trip to be ready for the Worlds in Thun at the end of the summer.
