We have already been to a number of events this year and picked up a few prizes on the way, Fairthorne Manor, Barrow-upon-Soar in January, and again in March. We have a proud tradition in Wild Water Racing, it is a fun sport that takes place throughout the year. You can enter in a composite Wild Water Racing boat, fast and light, or you can use a heavier but more stable Wavehopper, you can even race in a Slalom or General Purpose boat.

Entry level Wild Water Races start on gentle streams, with a few twist and turns as you improve you can progress to bigger and rougher water. There are two types of race; classics, which can be up to 6 kilometres and Sprints, that are normally boy 200 metres.
