Friday Night Fun Series – Riversport Series Final in 4 days

[natbla]

All good things must come to an end, and the end of the first year of the Friday Night Fun Series is this Friday. But before we sign off o the year we are going out with a bang!

The Riversport Series Final is a 2 two event evening with two separate freestyle events held back to back. First we will hold freestyle through the rapid event starting in the eddy above Feature B and finishing roughly 100 yards down stream in the pool below the Monkey Face drop. Each competitor will get two 1 minute runs to throw as many tricks as they can while traveling downstream to the final drop. Scoring will use a - best run –format for this free ride event.

Scoring rules can be found here: http://www.adventuresportscenter.com/im ... udging.pdf .

After we complete the first event we will then return to either Feature B or Feature C (depending on the skill level of registrants) to do a second 2 ride rodeo on a single feature. This will again be a best ride of 2 format. If we have a good turnout the second event will be held under lights after dark.

When we are all finished with the competition awards will be given to the winners of each event. Not only will there be awards for the evening, we will also be crowning first ever Immersion Research King (or Queen) of the River. This coronation will require significant gift giving including a boat, paddle, 2008 ASCI season pass, and a dry top.

But even if you don’t win one of the events you too will not walk away empty handed as we will be giving away every piece of donated prize swag we have received from our generous sponsors.

All of this fun gets under way with registration from 5-6:30, course opens for practice at 6 and competition starts at 7 PM.

Thanks again to all of our great sponsors that have made this first year a success – Wavesport, Stonyboater.com and Stonyboater Paddle wax, ASCI, Immersion Research, Riversport School of Paddling, and Starrkmoon Kayaks.
