THE 2007 WORLD FREESTYLE KAYAK CHAMPIONSHIPS ON CANADA’S OTTAWA RIVER APRIL 29-MAY 5, 2007

Canada’s Ottawa River was home to the best freestyle paddlers in the world. With the hopeful cooperation of mother nature and the commitment of both Hydro-Quebec and Ontario Power Generation (within their limits) this was big wave freestyle at its best.

With a flow greater than all the rivers in England and Wales combined, the Ottawa produced massive waves and holes as it roared to sea level.

Competitors were treated to waves like Gladiator, Mini-Bus or Big Bus. None of these giants occur at the same time.

If you do nothing else - see the video on the site!  It is incredible!

Athletes from around the world flocked to North America to compete in freestyle kayaking’s greatest event.  It attracted competitors from countries spanning all continents.
