A number of Australian Wildwater team representatives who will be leaving for Europe to compete in the World Championships will be on hand to race and put down times and offer advice to those newcomers wanting to have a go. A number of plastic downriver racing training kayaks will be made available free of charge along with helmets, PFD’s, spaydecks and paddles for all participants so it is great opportunity to experience another exciting paddling discipline. Athletes just need to bring a wetsuit or other suitable paddle clothing as the water will be colder this time of year. Also bring your own wing paddle that you are used to paddling with.

You can also view a short Video of Australian Team member Robert McIntyre at last year’s world championship sprint race in Germany and World Cup racing on the beautiful Soca River in Slovenia here.
