8:18 am
this big schools in spite sammy and he started to become a kayak pioneer and kenya with minimal equipment. so guys, i'm ready for the team today. so that's my head minutes. my jacket in my face, got my puddle, used to be a kayak puddle. double bled on one blade. good broken, that's a mobile uh stick. i decided to improvise profits around it, and i use it for my training. so improvisation is key. as somebody is preparing to take part in the canoe, slalom world cup and spain and the bull championships in london, which double as the qualifies for the powers and impacts he's kenya aware of the resource gap between the gear he has and what's available in europe. most of the other people lived in france and they have easy access on kayaks and oh, they keep prints for us to get maybe like a bottle of
8:19 am
a kayak in the country. it will cost a lot like the k x we are using right now. the old old version, we just try to maintain them because we know it's hard to get any of the equipments down here for the last few months and few weeks we have been trading really hard. he's a tough as lead now. about the 1st steps on the what was the were not so easy when i joined the club, this island club i so i would, i had some friends who helped me for me. i do enjoy every minute when i'm in the city, but my main thing, i told him in winning that with these by a lot of people and i just want to see the packing going and coming a big boat in sloan,
8:20 am
i'm kayaking involves completing the costs of hunting gates and the fastest time possible. green gates across 12 moving down stream rate gates must be crossed in an upstream direction. oscillates in europe, often training in the office of disease without official rivers and 5 o'clock gates . but here on this, the gone to semi and his friends make do with what they have in kenya, the as of, if you meant it for us to such as the other most chatted us compared to other countries. this loan get uh so important that is uh you have to maneuver that on the uh, green falls uh reviews being and cable that we have like both types. so we painted them green and red. just to identify the ups. do you mind the dosing get? yeah, that's our own. we own house to do
8:21 am
a level for see if as this disposing and the equipment related obstacles went enough. the biggest tenants lies ahead for sammy guessing. visa is in the capital 9 rugby. we seem to have around like 1010 days before we fly out for a form of edition. uh for the couple of days we, we've not been saying uh we've been to night will be almost for like 3 or 4 days before going for the defense offices looking for a visa and all that. but yesterday and today we had a chance to do a training. that's why, how this my, on my, on my face, i like what, uh and this is almost like going. but the stress of his visa sagas, seeing returns at home, piles of documents are still waiting to be submitted to the spanish and push embassies. a complicated process. yeah. for us to go out and
8:22 am
participate in any event we developed country, we have to get lots of documents is uh like passports because invitations slater's our bank statements uh, premium. okay. uh they called statements on and all that stuff. i don't know why they do ask for all those documents in as an identity. you seem to have something to come back home for like you have a happy family. you have like the duties from home. you will not kind that i would we yeah, you can go out there. you're not like going and thing definitely look. let's it doesn't feel comfortable for you. yes. all those kind of questions and you're just going for sports been done back on. so if i don't get a chance these the on the, on these events and i'll have to wait for another like 4 or 5 years to
