Thanks. I don't know much about the sport, but I've watched the locals when I walk by the kayak park downtown and thought it would be fun to shoot the pros.

Oops. I think it's fixed now.

nicely captured, I know thsi stuff is rather unpredictable haha. I wish I had more ww here, i just run flatwater rivers.. and play around with a friends boat now and again.

Whoa! I didn't expect that! Nice set. No explanations needed to enjoy any of them.

It made me laugh how only one person made it through and wasn't upside down!

Great shots!

Thanks for the comments.

Actually, they're trying to get upside down. In this event they paddle into a standing wave and do assorted spins and flips. The first two pics are from one move. The river was flowing about 3000 cfs, which is unusually high.
