First blog!

Hello everyone! With this being a new year and a fresh start I thought that I might as well do something more interesting. So I decided to make a blog. Now the proper template is not finished yet but that will take some time.

My name is Tom and at the moment I am 14 years old. I live near Manchester and I reaaaaallly like kayaking. If I could I would love to go everyday but school gets in the way! I have been kayaking since summer 2009 but a shoulder injury from rugby caused me to be unable to paddle throughout last winter. I love all types of kayaking but freestyle is where my heart lies. Even though I am not very good everyone can dream.

An easier to achieve dream is to be able to cartwheel properly. Hopefully I will have that mastered soon, but as with everything, it will take lots of practice to get better. Another ambition of mine is to be on the GBR freestyle team but this will take a lot of effort! I will be getting a lot more coaching and hoping to fulfill my dream.

My kit at the moment is:

Red Jackson Star 08 model
Peakuk Deluxe cag blue
Palm Symbiant ww bouyancy aid blue
Happy 2b Helmet, white with red stripe down the middle
Playboater work deck.

This is my first blog post so I hope you have liked it and come back when I update it in about a week.

So keep kayaking  and more importantly: Float with it!

Tom
