Nova Scotia throws down the gauntlet! -11C, snow and freezing rain, and a great turnout for WK’s first Hometown Throwdown
By Mark Richard • Mar 2nd, 2008 • Category: Feature Story, WK Hometown Throwdowns
It was well below freezing, the snow was heavy, the freezing rain knocked out the power… but Mark Richard and the gang in Nova Scotia pulled off the first ever World Kayak Hometown Throwdown this Saturday. The gauntlet is tossed… if they can do it in these conditions and get an above average participation level, all can! The next stop will be Reno on the 12th of March.
Check out some early photos… more to come as Mark will be getting up results soon! Contrats to Mark and all the volunteers at the Medway/Bangs Falls! You guys rock!
