Everybody is welcome to take part in any type of kayak or canoe. The slowest paddlers start first, and then each individual's time is taken into account and set off accordingly with the aim of everybody finishing at the same time. This makes for a very exciting event, in which no one is left behind on the water. There are two distances from which to choose: 2 miles (1 long lap) and 5 miles (2 long laps and 1 short lap)
First event date: 27th Novmber 2011

Wavehopper Racing just got a whole lot better
Wild Water Racing will update the Wavehopper Challenge to open the competition up to more people and clubs and make it even more exciting than ever.
With immediate effect the races are open to everybody, all ages and all standards, with the addition of a Senior section (18-years-old to 34) and a class for Masters (over 35-years-old), with the promise of more intervening age bands when numbers grow!
The Junior age bands of under 18, 16, 14, 12, 10 and lower, will remain to encourage youngsters to take up the sport and all groups will be open to everybody.
Wavehoppers will be provided at competitions, as they are now, but if you are not sure about using a Wavehopper, you will be welcome to take part in play-boats, general purpose boats and slalom boats; basically any boat shorter than a Wavehopper and does not have a rudder!
Entries cost just £5 for juniors and £8 for seniors, with the faster of two runs down the course counting. Your best three results count plus the final where points count double.
This year’s club champions were Herts Young Mariners, with 731 points, Duddon 2nd with 614 and Wiltshire Youth 3rd on 494. They were followed by Oakwood 434, Sharks 432, Canal-side 254, PHCC 242, Shepperton 199, Tyne Valley 193 and Carlisle 181.
