Look out Reno, here comes the River Festival
Well I am back in Reno after the World Championships. It turned out to be an awesome event with Bus Eater Wave at a prime flow. I was paddling well and had good rides in the first round. For whatever reason in the second round I kept flushing off the wave and even after watching video I still am not sure why. The bottom line though is that I didn’t put it all together like I needed to and finished 17th. I have been competing for over 15 years now and I am very aware that sometimes things like that just happen, and even though I am disappointed I am certainly not discouraged. EJ won another World titile which is unbelievable. I know how hard it is to win one Worlds, and am very aware of the commitment that it takes, so the fact that he has now won 4 is mind blowing to me. The guy is straight up a freak of nature and I am glad that I have been around to see this accomplishment. He is without a doubt the best ever, and probably the most dominant that there will ever be. This coming weekend is the Reno River Festival. I am really looking forward to this event and will be preparing all week long to try to get back to the top of the podium.
