Another great day in Southern Alberta. The second World Kayak Throwdown event in Western Canada was held at the Boulder Run on the Oldman River near Pincher Creek.
Supported by High Level Canoes and Kayaks, I spent the day paddling the Highwood River near Longview, Alberta with a few of their staff – Cooper Isaac and Anthony Gibson. In the evening we gathered below the Oldman Dam to offer a playboating clinic before the event.
A little bit about High Level Canoes and Kayaks: Based out of Lethbridge, Alberta this store is relatively new on the paddling scene. Their enthusiasm and warmth is iminent when they greet customers in the shop and they seem to be creating a huge influence on developing the grassroots of whitewater paddling. What sets this shop apart? They are not only a retailer, but also a kayak school that must take responsibility for growing the sports participation numbers. Ultimately they are spreading the paddle sports virus to this vast area of Southern Alberta! Their school programs range from kids camps to lake and river kayaking; drop in for a visit and see what they are all about. Visit them online at High Level Canoes and Kayaks.
