Yes, you read right, this year we are also organising a 4-cross race in the capitals whitewater jewel, the Tacen slalom coarse. And this is not just a news either, even though it is the national championship everyone is welcomed to join.
Here is how it looked in previous versions, and what you can look forward to this year! We left more info in the picture descriptions. 🙂
P.S.: You can thank Kdbs for the pictures 😀
This slalom discipline is so new, not even the internet has caught on yet. Wikipedia hasn’t even heard of it.

Each paddler has to charge around a handful of obstacles, and do a mandatory eskimo roll.

The starting ramp can be especially fun …

Kayak to kayak contact is permitted but competitors are not permitted to ram their boats into another competitors body.

So to sum up, it sounds like the ultimate sport for slackers. No training required and so much fun that surely it must be illegal.
