Once again Tom Eick rules, crushing the nearest competitor by over 6 1/2 minutes.

Dave Perault places 2nd in a very competitive field of 11 male kayakers.

Dave, a skilled kayak rodeo participant, has recently transferred his substantial skills to open playboats.

Drew Tucker, a youth paddler, fires a shot across the bow as he takes 3rd in the K1Male class.

Drew promises to be a force to contend with in the future.

Ron Tucker, father of Dan and Drew, finds himself 20 sec. behind his eldest son.

With Carol, his wife, the Tucker family is a competitive force to be reckoned with.

Ed Demasters, always competitive at the Nelson Downriver, improves his 2003 time by almost 1 1/2 min.



Stephen Moore, a youthful newcomer, made his mark at this year's race.

Stephen could crank up the level of competition in future races.

Jimbo Carey, taking it easy, still turns in a respectable time.



Ron Ashmore continues to improve his kayaking skills, easily negotiating rock pile rapid.



Sit-on-tops are a more "refreshing" mode of river transportation.
