Gautier Checking in from France

It looks like Gautier Grollemund, French C-1 paddler, may be on to something for the dog days of low water in the summer.
From Gautier:
Just near my home town, there is one the biggest lakes in France : the Pareloup Lake. It’s a good place for wakeboarding and other sports.
So, why not try with a kayak ?



Let’s Go ! The start was a little bit difficult because the kayak doesn’t keep the line when the boat is planing out. So it took two or three times before I was able to get going… And when the boat and I took off, the feeling was awesome ! It was very fast and difficult because the kayak didn’t behave like it was on a real wave… After 10 minutes, my forearms were asleep and I was tired ….
