2008 Wildwater National Championsips - Deerfield River, Charlemont, MA
by karenblom on Jul 11 2008, 18:45 GMT |
Zoar Outdoor will be hosting the USA Wildwater Nationals on the Deerfield River in western Massachusetts on August 2 & 3, 2008. During the 1990s, Zoar Outdoor hosted a number of national competitions on the Deerfield River including Slalom Nationals, Junior Team Trials, Open Boat Nationals, and the Wildwater Nationals in 1993 and 1995 and 2007.
This year the Wildwater committee has decided to make a week (July 27 – Aug. 3) out of the Nationals with fun, easy races and training camps, clinics, talks and a cookout. All this is designed to increase participation in the nationals and get more paddlers in to wildwater boats. The committee is planning on providing some ww boats and wavehoppers for paddlers to try out and then do an easy race in. Most events during the week of July 27th to July 31st will be on Zoar Gap a10-mile, class 2-3 section on the Deerfield River. The fun races on July 27th, 30 and 31st are open to any type of boat. |

4th annual HOMEGROWN amateur photo/video contest
saturday august 30 2008 @ chattooga whitewater outfitters
entries no later than midnite august 22
seeking to encourage creativity inspired by a lack of resources, this contest is for the regular guy/gal who doesnt have access to international whitewater destinations or top of the line camera equipment. we hope to provide a good natured forum for folks to share their work and see it realized on the big screen, while at the same time getting together and having a good time. the theme is rivers/whitewater. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and honorable mention prizes will be awarded for 2 photo categories (action and artsy fartsy) and 2 video categories (3-5 minute general themed, and 1-3 minute strictly carnage). check out entries from the past 3 years at www.teamscum.com/homegrown4 and get started on an entry for this year. i suspect there will be some jagermeister involved, perhaps some loud music and rowdy behavior.
