White water on the Jordan River!?

This was my 5th year at the Terra Santa Kayak Symposium. I have loved every year and i really cant wait to visit again!! The first year i went i was mainly coaching on the sea and surf. The following years saw a change off the sea and more into the surf and then the river jordan. This year was mainly about the river jordan.

The river has two great little rapids to work on skills and an amazing gorge to test your skills on. Above is rotem on the first section of the gorge taking a rest to spot the line!! We didnt go down the whole gorge this year as the water levels were a bit low. Myself and Omer had a good run down last year with Rotem Ron (solo iceland) Hadas Feldman (South Georgia, Japan) . Rivers are a great way to get your technique to a good standard for expeditions!

I would like to say a massive thanks to everyone over there for looking after me over the years. I really enjoyed catching up with everyone and meeting new people. Hope to see you all again soon.

Israel 2007 Jeff

Well this was my first visit to Israel and also the first time I was to meet with all the guys and girls from Terra Santa. What an absolutely wicked time I had as well. It was a very special time for me and a perfect way to start off 2007; Having arrived at Tel Aviv airport far too early for anyone in their right mind to be up and about, we were both surprised to find Saggi there to meet us and take us to the Hotel. The weather was warm throughout our visit, apparently the warmest winter for some years and after leaving the UK with howling gales it was more than welcome. Over the course of the next ten days we would not be stopping to rest for long, early starts most mornings, and into clinics for club members. It was so nice to meet all of the people Hadas had spoken to me about over the years, everyone was very freindly and treated both Simon and I excellently. Trips to the Jordan river with Omer, Rotem and Near, Jerusalem and the Dead Sea with Hadas and spending most of my early mornings on the water with Saggi were highlights of the trip, as well as meeting all the club members on almost a daily basis. The final day of our visit was to assess several candidates for their 4*. Congratulations Hannan and Madi, sorry if I've spelt any names wrong, you have my sincerest apologies.
One other thing I must mention is a very big thankyou to Hannan for taking a morning off to coach Simon and I on the practical shooting, it was awesome. Looking forward to seeing you all again and hope that you make it across to Cornwall sometime.
Ciao 4 Now
