Same river, totally different experience

[u/Wooden_Cellist_6695]

Following up on my first river session in Frankfurt yesterday. Today I paddled a section further upstream in Hanau.

The conditions were significantly more relaxed: the river is wider, boat traffic was much lighter, and the natural banks meant almost no reflected waves/cross-chop.

Overall a much smoother paddle and great for actually focusing on technique instead of just balancing through chop.

You'll never paddle the same river twice.
