Well no i don't know how to cartwheel (in a boat that is:) that's why i want to learn. I told you i sucked. in other words i'm a pretty bad paddler. I mean i've paddled class 4 rapids but i've just run them. I'm dieing to get better, and i'm really hoping that it works out for me but it just so happens i got into the wrong "sport" for the state i live in. There's not any whitewater near so i'm doing the best i can do for know. It will get better when i get my liscense...

anywho no i don't know any other launguage than english. I'm such a loser;p lol but sometimes this month i'll start my spanish course. Hopefully someday i get to france:) it would be sweet. or anywhere out of the US would rock- and also you don't have to write in english on acount of me:-) ha ha

so what are you up to??? anything awesome. other than paddling sweet rivers and pulling off nice tricks:)

This might sound crazy but do you have an email because it's hard for me to write long post on here. I don't think it was made for massive post:) but that's if you still want to write me and all..

Adios Amigos;p

your blog looks sweet but it would be even sweeter if i knew french. I so need to learn a second launguage. I'm just being lazy about it. You would think since i want to travel around the world i would be dieing to learn another launguage IDK:)

Well worth telling that is.;) other than my brother left home and my sister is also living pretty soon :'(That's awesome about the first descent. Sounds like FUN!!! I've watched a few movies with first descent in them. I think it would amazing to do a first descent before i die. But will see how it goes;-) ha ha...okay so this might be a stupid questain but are you like a hot-shot in france in other wordes populer in the kayaking world???? When cory said he kept up with your blog i had this feeling maybe you were:) By the way i'm a nobody in the kayaking world if that makes since..ha ha.. well i'm popular for it in my little town i live in because they think i'm crazy. And i replay well if you think i'm crazy you have not seen half of it:)

At 8:26am on March 25th, 2008, Charlyn Corum said…: No actually I don't have any rivers or holes close by, the closest river is about 2 + hours away. But that ones pretty boring!!! so mostly it's about a 7 hour drive to better rivers:) it's kind of sad though. But since i have a lake practicaly in my backyard i didcided to work on kayak moves in flatwater!! So ya i will be a pretty good flat water paddler by the end of this year....And yes i'm going to get on some rivers;-) hopefully really soon..So do you have rivers really close to you????? (probably;)

Jack Johnson is cool i've listened to his music a few times on the radio....

Checked out you blog totally sweet pictures!!!!;+)

ha ha I like the shirt;) Have you seen the shirt that says "real men wear skirts"?? it has a guy on the front with a paddle and a kayak skirt on.. my brother has that one...I have a few kayak shirts lol..anywho!!!! hope all is well and have a groovy day!!!

My brothers into climbing!! but i have not got the hang of it yet..it looks really fun..ha ha .... We watched this cool movie last night called Into Ther Wild it was really good.... okay so that was kind of random but oh well....I so want to do a flat water cart wheel but i can't start working on it because our lake is cold and nasty at this point.. it just really smells bad. but i'm going to get out there this week-end....well talk at ya lata

No i'm not sponsored by jackson kayak, pretty much for now i'm just a girl paddling for the fun of it. (not that you’re not but you get the idea;-) I'm not an awesome paddler like it sounds like you are!!!! That’s great about the European team-sounds fun!

And yes i checked out your blog the other day totally sweet pictures. I could understand a couple words but that's about it:) ha ha actually i have a blog with nothing on it and i forgot my pass word... real great!!! Oh and the only other instant messenger i have is gmail, it's ok!

Whenever i watch people in a C1 I laugh because i know if i got in one it would be a site to see. I would so not be good at it- but then again i have not tried it out yet so i shouldn’t say that;-)

my older brother is lime green too (not him- his boat and most of his gear;-) Pink and black might look cool!! I don't know but like you said i really need to make money and then pick out the boat;-/ ;-) ha ha so why is'nt there many pink paddlers in France??? I went a little crazy with all my pink gear;-) But I had fun shopping for all of it *grin*

Well good luck on you competitions!!!

have fun today on the river!!
