Citroen extreme race


Citroen extreme race

Last weekend, on 22.2.2014 there was a third NZ wild water extreme series race. The venue was on Kawarau river near Queenstown, on the Citroen rapid. The format of competition was boater x,which includes 4 kayakers starting at the very same time from staring ramp. best 2 qualify to the next round. Since the rapid itself is sticky and pushy at some spots the changes of positions are not uncommon. And swims as well. I managed to get through all 5 rounds into the finals,where I achieved second place out of 41 male participants. The winner became a good friend of mine, Tomas Hansson. Regarding female participation - it was possible to count all the girls on fingers of a hand. Maybe quite committing rapids resulted in such a low number.
