IrishFreestyle

My plight was mentioned to Steve Fisher by our own Moe Kelleher and Moe said I should contact Steve directly. Steve has been more than helpful. He offered some advice and sent me this article even though he's a busy man at the moment.......................................................................................................................

Since my last post I’ve only managed to get out for a paddle twice. A 2 megawatt play session at Sluice and a medium level run down the Upper Liffey with two good friends up from the country.Some of you guys will know them from their exploits in Siberia with TeamS7G.

In my quest to nail a helix I’ve decided I’ll leave no stone unturned and as a previous post suggested I wanted to talk to Irish paddlers who have met the man who conceived the move Steve Fisher.

Irene Hughes hailing from Mayo but now living in Galway is one such person.

As i said before the "Helix" was conceived by world renowned kayaker Steve Fisher. I know little about the guy and the nearest I've got to meeting him was possibly summer 2006 where we may have been on the same continent for a short while.

I have put absolutely no thought into how I'm going to achieve my goal as this blog was born of impulse. This fact may well come back to bite me in the future. I'm just a regular Joe who's main achievement to date was to marry a woman I didn't deserve to get. As the saying goes she is the better half.

I have a set up a Blog to chronicle my attempt to nail a Helix before my 40th birthday.

This thing ain't going to go on for years as I'm 38 nearly 39.

Yeah I know to many of you lot here that's grandad country but I'll list some pros and cons and ye can work out for yourselves weather it's possible or if I'm just delusional.
