	Or in simple terms, enough water. Cheat race at 5 feet cartwheeled and broke a wildwater boat. If you take these courses, and add some real holes, then they become spectator events. John Grace is on the right track with his slalom courses. Now just make them longer. Tacen at floodstage is how a course should look.

For the record, every top level slalom paddler that I have ever met would place well in any kayak race. Bradley New
