Bangkok Patana GCSE Kayak

Posted by Robin Thu, 26 Jun 2008 01:45:00 GMT

We have just returned from the 3 day GCSE kayak program in Nakon Nayok.

We used the canoe slalom course and Geng Sam Chang rapids below Tha Dan Dam as our training site and the river was running at med to low rainy season levels. However this was perfect for the skills that we needed to work on with the students.

Simon Shand and Matt Taylor have been working with the students, mainly in the pool, and for some this was their first time on moving water !

We made the descion to put all of the students in Whitewater playboats and this was definitely the right choice.

The students achieved far more than we expected and by the end of the course we even had some students thowing moves in the hole.

All the video is now in the can for their GCSE assessments in the Uk and teachers and students have returned to Bangkok for the last two days of term before the start of summer holidays.

 

Thanks to all for a fun few days..
