AVON DESCENT - NEWS NOTE
During the course of this year the Wild Water Technical Committee, (WWTC) has successfully petitioned a Down River class to be added to the Avon Descent race for 2009. Down River boats are well place for such an event as they are designed for white water rapid racing and, as they have no rudder, a high standard of skill is required to control them in fast moving water. This class is open to all Down River boats – K1 composite and plastic, (i.e. Wavehoppers).
In order to promote Down River racing, the WWTC in conjunction with various local sponsors are providing the following prizes:
The WWTC would like to thank Canoeing Down Under for co-sponsoring the Open 1st prize and Alarm Systems WA for sponsoring the Female 1st prize. Watch the 2009 European WildWater Championships Wildwater TV ITALIA will broadcast the WildWater Europeans 2009 Championships in Valtellina from June 23rd - 27th, releasing 1 or more videos every day.
