点评：My weekend at Whitewater Kayak school was a great success.
I was always interested in trying this so I signed up for the two day course. The first thing you learn is a whitewater kayak is very unstable, not at all like my flat water kayaks, so you have to learn how to exit the boat quickly and safely when you flip it over - which I did at least 10X on day #1.
So on both days they taught us about the river, currents, how to bring your boat into the whitewater and we learned various strokes - “C” stroke, “S” stroke and how to “Ferry” your boat across the moving rapids to get a more favourable pathway.
End of Day #1, Leaders: “OK let’s go down the river”; Me: “what? Let’s go down the river?” Yikes! I hadn’t even seen the river course yet, but away we went. 20 metres in, I flipped the boat, ripped off the water skirt and exited the boat, floating downstream feet first the rest of the course. At the end, their was a steep drop and a “Hole” which I ended up in, water crashing down on me and for a few seconds I was trapped and getting worried until I was eventually pushed out by the current. This was a little scary and I was doubting my decision to try this sport.
Back to the lodge for dinner and a discussion about my concerns with my instructor.
Day #2, back on the water learning more techniques and I only flipped the boat once. End of the day, time to tackle the river again. There were 12 people in the course, 3 backed out but I said to myself, I paid for this and I would regret it if I didn’t face my fear and take on the river. This time the Coaches took us to the bottom of the river on foot and we scouted out a pathway - much better, at least I had half an idea as to what to do. My instructor told me to make sure I took on the waves by leaning forward in my boat and to keep paddling - don’t fall back or you’ll flip the boat.
So me, the instructor and the other guy in our group set out, me at the back. The other student got caught up in the upper river and I sped past him, my instructor yelled to keep paddling. I cleared the part where I dunked the day before, shot down the middle part of the river and veered to the right. Up ahead I could see the end of the course and the dreaded hole. I was on the wrong side of the river and knew I had to get left, so I ferried my boat at 10 O’clock across the rapids, aimed for the rock to the left of the hole, turned a sharp right, leaned into the water and shot through to the fringe of the left side of the hole and paddled out. I had successfully conquered the river and met my fear head on.
Oh man, talk about an intense and exhilarating experience. I was super proud and emotional when it was all over. Not bad for 63 years old.

翻译：我在白水皮划艇学校度过的周末非常顺利。我一直都希望能尝试一下这项运动，因此报名参加了为期两天的课程。首先学到的就是：白水皮划艇极其不稳定，完全不同于我平时使用的静水皮划艇；因此必须学会在船翻掉后快速且安全地离开船体——第一天我就至少翻船10次呢。在这两天里，教练还向我们讲解了有关河流、水流等方面的知识。如何让皮划艇驶入急流中，我们还学会了各种划桨技巧——“C”形划法、“S”形划法，以及如何通过“摆渡”的方式让船只在湍急的水流中转向，从而选择更有利的行进路线。
第一天结束时，领队说：“好了，我们下河吧！”我回应道：“什么？我们要下河？”天哪！我甚至还没看清河道情况，我们就出发了。才划了20米，我的船就翻了，防水裙也被扯掉，我只好从船上爬出来，之后全程都是脚朝前、顺着水流漂浮而下。最后……那里有一个很陡的落差，还有一个“洞”，我最终掉进了里面。水从四面八方涌来，有那么几秒钟我被困住且十分担心，直到最后被水流冲了出来。这一经历有点吓人，让我开始怀疑自己尝试这项运动的决定是否正确。
回到木屋后，我吃了晚饭，并把自己的担忧告诉了教练。
第二天，我再次下水学习更多技巧，这次船只翻了一次。一天结束时，我又准备再次挑战这条河。课程上有12个人，有3个中途退出了。但我心里想：我已经付了费用，如果不敢面对恐惧、不敢挑战这条河，我会后悔的。这次，教练们带我们步行到河底，我们还探察了一条路线——这样好多了，至少我心里大概知道该怎么做。我的教练叮嘱我，一定要身体前倾以对抗波浪，还要持续划桨——绝对不能落后，否则船就会翻。于是，我就这样做了。教练和我们组的其他人出发了，我跟在最后面。另一个学员被困在了河的上游，我迅速从他身边超越过去，教练大声喊叫让我继续划桨。我顺利通过了前一天差点被淹的地方，顺着河中央快速前行，随后向右转向。前方就是赛道的终点以及那个令人闻风丧胆的急流漩涡。当时我在河的右岸，知道必须向左转过去，于是以10点钟方向的角度驾驶皮划艇穿越了急流。我瞄准了球洞左侧的岩石，然后急速向右转向，身子探入水中，顺利划到了球洞左侧的边缘，接着又划了回来。我成功征服了这条河流，直面并战胜了内心的恐惧。
天哪，这真是一次紧张又刺激的体验啊。一切都结束后，我自豪又激动得不行。对于一个63岁的人来说，表现相当不错呢。
