Getting there!
Thursday, September 10, 2009
After watching some high level competitions in Slalom in the past few months, we should conclude that the mistake margin in this sport is extremely reduced.
Like in any sport, there is drama, but in Slalom the waiting game for the your opponents mistake, the high "price" of the penalties make it an addictive and thrilling sport to watch.
As boat builders we are looking forward to be more in this game, to use our expertise to give the athletes the calm and confidence enough to perform at this level of stress.
The crowd was amazing but we cannot get used to the horns!! Slovenia did well,i am sure that the extremely loud crowd gave them a hand!
The Portuguese crowd was also present cheering for one of the youngest competitors in this event Lara Silva (in the picture).

We have a great view to the scenic course, internet access so our office is GREAT!!!
In the meantime we saw one of the boats we lended the ICF for the Development Program, Argentina was using it, it is great to see our boats down the course, not many for now! But the impact is up to the expectations!

Tents Up!
Tuesday, September 08, 2009
2 days left for the competition to begin, but the atmosphere is already great!
La Seu was the Olympic Venue for the 92 Olympics and since then it has marked for their constant investment in technology, this year a new timing and camera system will be presented.
During these days each team has assigned a traning hour, in which the athletes try diferent parts of the course or techniques, as the final course won't be know until the race day.
We have got our selfs installed in a great location with an even better view.

On the way!
Thursday, September 03, 2009
Next week, the Nelo Tour will head to La Seu d'Urgell for its first ever Slalom Worlds.
The plan is easy, we are on a fast learning process, we have been absorbing information from different places, athletes and coaches, the Worlds will be one more oportunity to reinforce that knowledge and contacts.
This World Championship will have another "first timer" besides us, it will be the C1 Women Event, as we like to be part of all ambitious and original plans we are supporting the Portuguese athlete with a brand new custom made boat, that is from today on its way to La Seu!
We will be there ourselves from monday, and we will keep you posted on our adventure!
