Bob Morris shows a lot of style and a sleek, fast kayak.

Bob captured second place in K1 Male Masters

Charles Morris "submarines" rock pile rapid.

Look closely and note that Charles has no kayak paddle. He is using tiny hand paddles.

Ed, a veteran of many Nelson Downriver races, looks too relaxed as he exits confluence rapid

Ed's experience earned him a slot as one of our safety boaters helping to make this race possible.

Glen Bayley, cruises through rock pile in his Old Town sea kayak.

That rudder off the stern is not doing much to guide the boat, though.

Gordon Dalton's whitewater boat rears up and over a wave.

Gordon, who is taking a liking to whitewater racing, took 3rd in the very competitive K1 Male class

Luther Barden bounces through the meat of rock pile rapid.

Luther's boat, designed more for casual flatwater, buries its bow in the foam.

Nick Kirchner takes the rocky centerline on rock pile and becomes airborne.

Nick took 1st place in the K1 male Youth class - congratulations!

Dave Perault turns in a remarkable performance paddling an old Hydra "rocketship".

Despite attempting to paddle upstream in apparent confusion, Dave had the fastest kayak time by over 4 min.!

Sam Keaton leaps a ledge on the edge of rock pile rapid.

Sam captured 1st place in K1 Male Masters!

Ted Heneberry submerges his sleek boat.

Ted placed 4th in the highly competitive K1 Male class.

Tom Womble has a fast boat and good form,

so it is no surprise he took took 2nd place in a field of six in the K1 Male class.
