Richmond World Kayak Event No. 3!!!!
Great day on the river and a great turnout for the second Richmond World Kayak downriver race of ‘09.
The water level on the lower James was around 7.5′, which is pretty juicy. The racers started above Grumman rapid and then had to paddle to far river right to hit the main drop at Hollywood, and then sprint to the finish. I hope everyone enjoyed the course, thought I’d throw a little twist in the mix, taking advantage of the nice water level. Thanks sandysdad for the pics I hope you don’t mind me borrowing them for the post, they where too good to pass up.
Next race will be June 10th.
