WK Slave River Throwdown #2
Our second Throwdown of the season went off well at Slave Paddle Fest this year. With a total of 266 festival participants, 77 of those came out to the whitewater events including the WK Throwdown.
The event took place in the hole at the top of Playground Rapid on the Slave River. This second event was run as a freestyle event with points being awarded based upon each heats paddling ability.
Next Throwdown coming up will be a downriver race. Location TBA, but this series is going to not select the best playboater, but best all around boater! See the results below.
