Support Eden Sinclair at the World Champs!

Please show your support for kayaker Eden Sinclair to represent New Zealand at the 2015 ICF Freestyle Kayaking World Championships to be held in Ottawa, Canada August 30th to September 6th 2015.

 

Freestyle Kayaking

Freestyle kayaking involves performing a range of flips, rotations, tricks and moves both on and above the water whilst surfing a hydraulic wave or hole. Some moves require explosive energy to generate enough pop to launch the boat into the air, the volatile environment of water rushing downstream often causes unpredictable forces on both the paddler and the boat.

Paddlers have a time limit to perform a variety of manoeuvres which are then scored by judges on a standardised scoring system. Trying to pack as many moves into a limited timeframe can be exhausting!

Why Eden needs your help

International travel is not cheap, especially with a kayak! Airlines tend to find all sorts of excuses to squeeze a few more dollars from your pocket when they see you walk up to check in with a 6ft long kayak!

Your support will go towards this additional luggage cost which equates to an extra person flying one way to Canada!
