The Bavarian capital of Munich has attracted surfers for decades, in spite of the fact that it's hundreds of miles from the coast. How? The Eisbach wave, which sits on the edge of the Eisbach river. TheWorld.org's Rebecca Rosman dove into how the wave was created, and what it's like to surf it.
Heading out to our last #ParaDragonboating team practice of the month! Our first race is next Sunday, May 26th. I'll post more info about that, after this weekend.
You can see how seating changes are done, while we are out on the waters. Everyone except the 2 people transferring, row by row, has to brace the dragonboat while these seat changes happen.
Selkirk Trestle, walking & cycling bridge - spans from Banfield Park to Selkirk waterway paths on other side of waterway.
Views from the dragonboat. From today's practice. I'm with new #ParaDragonboating pilot program, run by #FairwayGorgePaddlingClub on Jutland. Our team name: Storm the Gorge.
40 minutes before our practice ended - big gust of wind blew my hat off my head & into the waters. We paddled backwards to rescue it. I tossed rescued, soaked hat on dock & we picked up another paddler, while docked.
Part of our #ParaDragonboating - Storm the Gorge #team 🥰 We're all enjoying learning on the waters together. We have a very #diverse & #inclusive group of fine folks on our team. It's sure nice to be around fellow #disabled comrades. It's sure nice to feel fully included. It's great to be around people who understand me & vice versa.
I had fun #paddling this afternoon. At Fairway Gorge Paddling Club - #FGPC’s #DragonBoat Open House on Jutland. I was the only disabled person who attended. Pics(except the panoramic one) are from my Mom.
Met my para-dragonboating coach, Katy & enjoyed some chats with her, at the open house. Met some support staff for the para-dragonboating pilot program too. We start the program next Saturday🙂🛶🌊
