Remo adapted with Edorta de Anta

NAGORE REMENTERIA; Elhuyar Foundation: Hello Edorta, good morning!

EDORTA DE ANTA; rower:Good morning to you!

NAGORE REMENTERIA; Elhuyar Foundation:Hello, Juan Anjel!

JUAN ANJEL GARMENDIA, coach:Hello Nagore, good morning!

NAGORE REMENTERIA; Elhuyar Foundation: What, prepping the ship?

EDORTA DE ANTA; rower: Yeah, we just got here. And a little putting things in their place.

NAGORE REMENTERIA; Elhuyar Foundation:Have you taken this same boat, Juan Anjel?

JUAN ANJEL GARMENDIA, coach: No, I don't. This ship stays at home. It was a long trip and there was no possibility to take it. Then the organizers put you on another identical boat.

NAGORE REMENTERIA; Elhuyar Foundation:In New Zealand, right?

JUAN ANJEL GARMENDIA, coach:There, in New Zealand, yes.

EDORTA DE ANTA; rower:A good experience, and already back home, and to try again to make things better the following year.

NAGORE REMENTERIA; Elhuyar Foundation:If at least the ship is a bit long compared to the weakly mobile skiff?

EDORTA DE ANTA; rower: This envy of ours is six meters long. And the normal skiff nine. Then, in terms of weight, our embarkation is 25 kilos and the other is 12-13 kilos. This one is much wider than the other to include our chair. And then we use these two buoys, which are placed here, to keep them from turning over.

According to N. R.: Do they touch the water?

According to E.A.: Yes, in competition the buoys must touch the water. They won't let you take it any higher.

According to N. R.: It's in the rules, then.

According to E.A.:Oh, yeah, yeah.

According to N. R.:But it's gonna slow down, right?

According to E.A.: Yeah, a little bit. And if the weather is bad, there are a little more waves. But it's supposed to slow us all down, not just me. All the same.

According to N. R.:These are the ones you use now, right?

According to E.A.: Yeah, these are mine. You see, they're much shorter than the conventional ones. And then the blade is much wider than the other.

According to N. R.:Edorta, isn't it long since you started rowing?

According to E.A.: No, I don't. We started testing it last year, around February.

According to N. R.:Do you remember the first time you sat on a boat like this?

According to E.A.: Yeah, we came to try four or five people. The first feeling was that I was a little scared. But it didn’t last long, in fact, after that we enjoyed the water. And that's why we keep going.

According to N. R.:The image, at least from the outside, is that it will be difficult to maintain balance in such a narrow container.

According to E.A.: Yeah, that's why we're wearing these buoys, so we don't turn around. It’s hard to turn around, but well.

According to N. R.:And how do you paddle, what body parts do you use?

According to E.A.:We paddle bound on three sides; and we exert most and only one force with our arms.

According to N. R.:It's gonna be hard, time, to just move a piece of this boat with your arms.

According to E.A.: You have to be very well prepared. We don’t just come to enjoy. You have to have a good level of competition, for which you have to be very well prepared.

According to N. R.:Today, yes, because today you have no competition nearby to enjoy.

According to E.A.: - Yes, today. We have just arrived from New Zealand and let go of the muscles a little and enjoy a little. We will try again next year.

According to N. R.: Enjoy and thank you!

According to E.A.:Thanks and until next time!
