Listen Later

Georgina Maxwell hosts the first episode of series 7 of the Coaching Podcast, chatting all things River Play with Chris Evans.

Chris grew up paddling on the Thames where slalom and freestyle kayaking were all the rage, at the age of sixteen he was taken to a ‘real’ river and the rest is history. Twenty six years later and he’s not only keeping the slalom and freestyle in his river paddling but he’s now coaching the movements as part of his work as a full time paddlesport coach. Chris is also part of the British Canoeing Awarding Body EQA team.

Georgina and Chris discuss –

  • all the elements behind playing the river, from finding the joy of a soul surf to impressing your mates with the often-illusive endless tailies.
  • how to get started and what would make a suitable river play kayak
  • how to get one step ahead of a boats movement when being pushed around in moving water
