WHEN/WHERE DID YOU START CANOEING/ KAYAKING?
In Buenos Aires by the end of 2006
REASON FOR TAKING UP THE SPORT
My father was giving some basic kayaking lessons in a municipal swimming pool in Buenos Aires, and he was always coming home with some histories about people who was paddling and how much fun everyone was having, so I felt a little bit jealous and one day I told him I wanted to go with him. I had a good time, but not that much, still I kept going, and after a couple of times I actually started to like paddling, and then we made this trip to some whitewater place, it was pretty lame, but that's when I felt in love with this sport.
