Kayak Race / Parade
"You know about solemn races in skiing, but this is a Kayak solemn and the rapids of the Wild Roar River provide plenty of challenge for all competitors who come from six countries to test their paddling skills. " A two man Kayak going down stream on some pretty turbulent white water. Two Kayakers come down a short fall and work to turn around the first pole marker in the water. The Kayakers come down another small falls and slam the front of the Kayak into a huge rock. The force of the white water overturns the kayak sending the riders into icy cold water. A single Kayaker comes down the river, he drops down about 4-feet and struggles to make his way toward and around the poles. Another single racer overturns his kayak on the drop but turns himself right side up to continue the race. Many racers get pushed by the water into a wooden retaining wall. Various spills and flips as a final kayaker gets thrown from his kayak and swims away.
