Free Your Style – Kilkenny

29 09 2009
Howdy folks,
This is a freestyle coaching day which will have some top quality coaches and freestyle paddlers on hand to help you up your freestyle skills.
This is happening on the 25th Oct 2009

The day will be in two parts. The first part will be a series of skills work shops and the second will be a mini freestyle competition.

The event will take place at the new weir at Greensbridge Kilkenny which is one of the best features in the country for learning the foundations of freestyle kayaking.
