Right, Corsica, my second time on this island of beauty was nothing less compared to the first, paddling some new rivers and reviewing old ones. Although the waterlevels were lower then last year, we were able to run most of the classics with decend water: Codi, Rizza, Golo, Liamone, Vecchio. Some new runs were the lower Fium Orbo, Travo, Upper-Vecchio, Tavignano. These are defenitely the best rivers of the island, amazing scenery combined with good rivers.

Together with Emiel I set off for two weeks of solid low volume ‘corsican’ style paddling. This means: low water, bedrock, sharp rocks, portages, waterfalls, slides and bony rapids, the perfect ingredients for 11 days of paddling. I love the islans itself, the beautifull valleys, great mountains and culture and history at Bonifacio. The time is perfect, when all other rivers are low, Corsica is there! We met a couple of Germans the first day at the Golo, good people to paddle, party and have fun with, thanks guys!

Now, let’s get back in the freestyle boat.. selections for the Euro’s is this weekend, I need to work on those moves quick! I hope I can make the team, Lienz is a great place to be!
Cheers,
Raoul
