I read your ideas in collabration through paddle sport, it was so interesting for me. I wish I could talk with you and see a man from the other side of the world who thinks like me.

I hope to see you soon in Iran and if you like paddle with us on the rivers which are so beautiful that you think you are in heaven. Three weeks ago I was in China for 5th asian wild water and slalom competition. I saw the most beautiful palce that I have ever seen in Zhagjiajie, there I found nice friends who I cant never forget ,the year before I was in south Korea and there was a similar situation too.

Yes Chris... good people ... fair play... is always the winner at the end .
 
I am living in Esfahan , it is a an ancient city which attract many tourists , and there is aproverb which means Esfahan is half of the world!!!
I have master in physical education and  I am kayak coach too , I dont have too much experiance in wild water because it is 2 years that I began paddeling in wild water as the first woman in Iran.

Because of the difference between  physiological structure of women and men there was this carzy idea that women can't sit in canoe.  Now it's time to consider the improving the technology of making canoe and the sit which can be make in a way that be suitable for women there is no reason that women can't work in canoe.
If they can have a chance to try it they can show their ability!

See our beutiful Country and team...

To both of you from Iran and Lebanon, we are very excited to hear that Chris is organizing the efforts to bring a few of your kids to our Junior Olympics in July 1-15 (in the minimum) to Colorado. For this I extend a big hand of welcome. Both Chris and I have a world view of life. Paddling together allows us to forget differences and to become great friends.

I will be working on plans to assure that the kids who come from your countries will not only be welcome but will establish a working relationship with any number of our kids here and in Canada.

Hello Dave

Thanks a lot for your great support, it would be an honor! Looking forward for such experience and maybe the difference will make the kids closer, to be curious to know each others well, and we will manage everything for sure! With help of the President of The Federation here in Lebanon Mr. Mazen Ramadan, and with your support of course.

Sure the kids will have a great time and let’s just hope for the best. And till everything is settled wish you all the best and hope things turn out for the best.

 

To a better World

 

With lots of respect... Cosette

Dear Kattayoon

I would like some information about purchasing a sea kayak in Iran. Searching the web, i was not successful in finding one. Could you please help me.

I would like to thank you as an Iranian for your great job and effort in introducing the true face of Iran and Iranian to the world.

Best Wishes

hi Sasan
I think sea kayaking is possible in Kish Island but I don't hear about that , now there are not many rivers in Iran for kayaking ,Sepidrproud in Gilan,Zayanderoud and Armand in chaharmahal. if I know what you exactly mean by sea kayaking  I can help you more .
regards
