Deep Cove War Canoe

Deep Cvoe War Canoe

"Tuesday June 22,2010, the BCKC War Canoe participated in a local racing event in Deep Cove.
From April till September Deep Cove Canoe & Kayak Center puts on 4-10km long races every
Tuesday night that are famous with the local sea kayak and surfski crowd. On a nice summer
night up to 100 boats line up on the start but this was the first race EVER to see a war canoe
competing.
The majority of our padlers were from our Masters group training Wednesday nights but we
strengthend the team with a couple HP athletes as well. Jim and Jeff were steering - they had
to swoop out half way and each do a run from/to the kayak centre while Dan, Diana, Bex, Seb, Nic, Kit, Katja, Krista, Dave, Davood, John, Trevor and Kurt paddled the boat up and down the 2x2km long
course. It was a lot of fun on a relatively calm night on the open ocean. Except for a couple motor boat waves that seriously threatened to tip us allinto the water - but we survived and also won the race!!!!!

Australia Training Camp 2009

G’Day Mate. A group of BC athletes have just returned from their spring training camp in Australia. Elliot Hoyt, Rebecca Alley, Kristin Bauder, Kiran Basra and Jim Nosella, and coach Lynn Dagenais all who train at the Burnaby Canoe & Kayak Club traveled to Narabeen, NSW Australia (about 45 min north of Sydney). Not only did these athletes train 3-5 times a days, they were able to experience a unique training camp. These BC athletes got the opportunity to see a new country, train with Aussies athletes, race on the Sydney Olympic regatta course, lift weights on the beach, see a kangaroo and a koala, and they also met the 2008 Olympic Gold and Bronze medalist Ken Wallace.
