I just started doing some slalom. The only problem I have is that I can only train once every two weeks with others and training only by myself, well...that's a bit boring...

yep, I paddle slalom (15 years now) and run rivers for the fun of it! :grin:

since I live in the netherlands (flatest country in the world -> no mountains -> no white water) slalom is a great way to make less challeging white water a challenge!

Slalom makes great whitewater paddlers. It teaches you to read the water. This helps alot when on the river.

There's 3 in our family that do both and polo as well.

Cross training is important to all disiplines as it gives you combined boat skills.
