Biography

Coming from a family of kayakers, Pavlina Zasterova was carried along by the family lifestyle. She learned to kayak with her father before the intervention of all her slalom coaches later on. These feelings of power and freedom from nature and the environment that is water drive Pavlina to continue to enjoy every second on the river.

I started on the Otava River in my hometown of Písek when I was 6 years old. The first race took place in Sušice, the town where the Galasport brand originated. I remember finishing second, so I decided to train harder so I wouldn’t be second anymore.
