About the WK Hometown Throwdowns
The WK Hometown Throwdowns are a series of FUN events aimed at bringing communities of recreational boaters together in the spirit of simple competition. Based on the legendary Maryland Chute Outs, these events allow for simple scoring and keep things light and fun. Points for front surfs, wathunks, paddle waves and the standard playboating moves make this fun for all. The categories allow for any one to do well and we all judge each other. Prizes are not given to top rides, but are raffled off to all participants like door prizes. We had over $150K in prizes donated to these events by our sponsors in 2008. This keeps the focus on participation, learning skills, bragging rights and taking the wave or hole for a few hours a month.
2008 saw 63 events across 3 continents. 2009 will see twice that. Contact us if you want to set up a Throwdown in your area! james @ worldkayak.com
