Yet another video clip in HD for your viewing pleasure!

This is not exactly a new clip since it dates back from spring 2006. It was originally available as a bonus on my Freestyle Instructional DVD "Methode Kayak Freestyle" (which is available in French only and therefore not presented in the english Shop pages).

I guess it is time to make it available to all. Among other things, this clip features Benjamin Durand's huge silly flip (probably one of the biggest aerial moves ever performed) and Canada's very own Ruth Gordon performing a massive Panam. Ruth, unsurprisingly, would become World Champion a few months later on Bus Eater ;-)

I also included some footage showing the good old Boogie, Riot's surfkayak... it is hard to describe how fun it is to carve on this perfectly glassy, 15m wide wave! For those who know the place, this wide glassy section is located on the left channel at around 1200-1400 m3/sec. At this level I generally prefer using my Boogie over a shorter boat.

2 versions of the clip are available for download :

• Standard quality, Windows Media Video, 26 Mo: server n°1
• HD 720p, Windows Media Video, 120 Mo: server n°1 or server n°2

And now a selection of nice pictures taken at the wave's optimal level called "the b-Wall":
