Galway Fest 2013! - 23/24 Feb - register now!

[Douchier]

Hello you lovely people!

Registration should be opening any minute now for the Galway-fest 2013!

That's right, the event that gave you this lovely image!


This is undoubtedly one of the most fun and most Buckfast-fueled events of the kayaking calender.
Register ASAP as places are limited; even if you're not sure that you can go, register.
Registration here

The event will be on two days and consist of a freestyle competition and a whitewater race.

Freestyle will hopefully be at Tuam(Guide, Video), with Clifden(Guide, Video) being the back-up. Both great features, Tuam especially is very friendly whilst allowing you to pull off a full bag of tricks. Both excellent spots.

The whitewater race will be on the Boluisce(Guide, Video- video conveniently shows many of the lines not to take) - probably from the campsite down to Spidal. This stretch is pretty comparable to running the Annamoe without jacksons.

I think that the big plus to this event is that's it's much more accessible than something like the Flesk Race or the Clare Glens race and I hope to see loads of people from here competing. If you've any questions then post them up here or send me a PM

and sure, here's another video.

Any idea how much it is to enter?

[Chunderdragon]

it says on the form!

[Douchier]

You should all definitely do the freestyle! It'll be a fun competition format so you get points for things like paddle-found and blowing kisses at the judges. You'll be able to pull off those moves that you've been learning much more easily than at stackallen.

Hell, it's worth out just to get on a new feature and have a new set of experiences!

The freestyle is also the that's more likely to  have limited numbers, do you might not have the option of changing your mind
