James Read made the trip to Llandysul to compete as a paddle-up in the Division 1 slalom on both Saturday and Sunday. Paddling up at this level is always tough and well done to James for taking on the challenge.

The field was big, Division 1 events always are, and James came 78th on Saturday collecting 14 points, on Sunday he climbed up a couple of places to 76th and earned another 29 points. James now has a total of 509 points and is currently ranked 11th in Division 2 Men’s K1 slalom. Paddling up is always difficult because by definition most of the people you are racing against are ranked in the division above you.

Next event is a division 2 slalom at Symonds Yet on the River Wye, where Jacob Simpson will be racing.
