Canottieri Sanremo

Rishan has been training with the Junior Canottieri Sanremo team. There club has a gym, large selection of club and personal boats, lots of kayakers of all ages, coaches and rowers. She is enjoying the training sessions and is getting use to training in a busy port. They are really passionate about kayaking here and they have all been really kind to her. Rishan doesn't speak Italian and the guys don't speak English. When we are all kayaking there is no problem communicating.
