2011 WWGP - Giant Slalom
As the two-week tour of competition comes to a close you might be able to accuse the Grand Prix of a lot of things: a skunk reeking havoc in a hotel room, broken beer glasses in a bar in La Tuque, egos bruised, goals realized, lines missed and stomped, but no one can claim the whitewater was anything less than representative of the top end of our sport.
2011 WWGP - Big wave challenge
A wave on the Ashuapmushuan River was chosen for today’s freestyle competition and showcased athletes’ wave skills, which were honed to a fine point. The features called 'Pillars’, which has been surfed on previous 'Stakeout's', but never at this level, gave competitors two waves to surf.
2011 WWGP - Time Trial
Today the river Petite Bostonnais, chosen as the site for the Grand Prix Time Trial Race, made the best kayakers in the world think twice about climbing in their boats. The day started with a thick fog in the forests that lifted into a blue sky around mid-day.
2011 WWGP - Big water boater cross on the Rouge river
The Grand Prix rolled straight into the Big Water Boatercross event only a day after the Gladiator freestyle competition on the Ottawa River.
2011 WWGP - The Ruins
Competitors awoke this morning sore after a full day of Gladiator and the inevitable beat downs that accompany any surf session on a wave of that size.
Interview with Grand Prix Director Patrick Camblin

Sam Sutton wins 2010 Adidas Sickline Extreme
For the fourth consecutive time the adidas Sickline Extreme Kayak World Championship took place in Austria’s beautiful Ötztal valley.
