Video Ticino is online

Here you can see the video we made for French national TV in April. As broadcasted on May 8th . There’s a few mistakes as always with TV journalists, Ticino is not in Val d’Aoste ;)

But it shows pretty well our sport. And it’s always good to see a bit of kayak on national TV on a Saturday afternoon.

Enjoy:

Hello All!

This is my first post here. So I won’t be long.

Just a quick news to let you know that this Saturday 8 of May at 18H00 there’ll be a 6mn program  during the ADN TV Show. This show is usually watched by 3,5 millions television viewers. Not bad for creek boating ;-) Usually in France you don’t see kayaks on TV execpt once every 4 years for the Olympics. So it’s pretty new and very interesting to be able to show nice kayaking on TV. The story is about Alex “Jakette” Besseau, 3rd place C1 freestyle at the last worlds. He usually use Gui Gui Prod boat but for that mission I gave him my old Liquidlogic Jefe Grande. It’s a road trip where I introduce him to running waterfalls, the climax is the classic Ribo drop, a clean 16 meter drop. That’s for the story, we were pretty lucky with sun and water level so there should be some nice images.

The show can be podcasted here for a week after it has been broadcasted:
