Wausau Whitewater will host it’s first annual Wausau RiverFest on June 11th and 12th, but before the event could be it’s best, significant improvements were necessary to repair the flood damage from massive flooding in the fall of 2010 and spring of 2011. Michael Schroeder has been working hard to not just repair, but improve the features at Wausau Whitewater Park which now consists of 11 playable spots for paddlers of all levels (beginner to advanced).

This week has been interesting but loads of fun and excitement! Tuesday night kicked off with the Opening Ceremonies for the 2010 Slalom Worlds in Tacen Slovenia. The Slovenians kept bragging about Kauzer (The Men’s Kayak favorite) but in a fun way. It was great, they had dances, music, and a basketball team dunking from trampolines and lighting the basketballs on fire! It was crazy! After that, we rode back to the Hotel to prepare for Wednesday, a busy first day filled with qualifying runs for C1, C1W and K1W. They were expecting lots of rain which could lead to cancelling on Thursday so they had to fill Wednesday just in case.





The Jackson Freestyle Clinic Returns to Wausau August 19th and 20th, 2010. Colin Kemp and John McConville will instruct 20 Students. Only 2 openings remain so call Ashley at 715-572-6197 to claim your spot! A waiting list for cancellations will begin after we reach our 20 student capacity. The cost of the 2 day clinic is $155 and includes your entry into the Midwest Freestyle Championships, 4 days of water and lunch, a T-shirt, and if you choose to compete on the weekend, an entry into the competitor prize drawing for a new Jackson Kayak and thousands of dollars of other prizes!
