3 girls down under

Not to often does the oppurtunity arise to visit a foreign land and go kayaking with three of the best female kayakers in the world. Well it happened this fall in Tasmania where Tanya Faux, Nikki Kelly and Georgia LaPlastrier gathered with some help from Teva for a race on the Lea River. After the race the team went on a short but sweet tour of the Island. This is the story of that tour and how three girls are better than one. (note: dates are altered to display events in occurence)

Georgia's race comments

Woke up feeling a little less refreshed than I would have liked but
excited to be in Tasmania again and heading to the Teva Lea Extreme Race.
The beautiful rolling hills still green from the recent spring a great day
ahead. I reunited with lots of Tasmanian friends and some of which I had
spent time with in Tibet this year. Niki, John, Aaron, Brock and myself
had a quick reccy run down the Lea River and I was pleased as there were
some resonable drops and fast lines to scout. More than enough water took
us down this short but steep section of river. There was an air of
excitement in the air. Unfortunately I was quite shattered after my time
working so wasnt as fast as I would have liked to be in the race but the
girls Niki and Tanya kicked serious butt and came 2nd over all!! The party
that night was true Tasweigen style with plenty of singing, dancing and
various performances.
