Hi all, it's just been highlighted to me there is a discrepancy in the number of points given out for the Washburn races last weekend compared to the figures given by the online points calculator. Could someone please explain/check their own results and clarify the situation. Thanks Andrew Thomas

My last set of roof bars are now surplus to requirement... Bought new in 2008. All parts in original boxes (except bars) with the components being: 1 x Thule 1131 Rapid System Kit 1 x Thule 750 Rapid System Foot Pack (LOCKS INCLUDED!! worth £17.99) 2 x Thule 761 Square Bar All in good working order,...

Just to add to what I wrote... If you read further down the document, it does say in the small print on the "grades" page Please note - Manmade artificial courses are normally under the jurisdiction of the facility management. However, we advise that it can be appropriate to classify the man-made fa...

Dave, I'm not sure I'm quite following where you are going with this..? As we all know, coaches have a lot of hoops to jump through... For WWSR I personally feel (having come from a recreational background before starting slalom) it is quite essential for any paddler to be going to do an appropriate...

Its now getting close to the rescheduled Matlock Div 2/3 event. Please come one and all, its always a good event! If you were on the April start list and are intending paddling at the rescheduled event, please could you send your new cheque, else you will not find yourself on the new start list. I b...

pg52 in the rule book is quite clear that div 4 courses have to be a minimum of 12 gates long 4 of which must be upstreams! Given that the standard course is 18-25 gates, 6 or 7 of which must be upstreams, the div 4 short course is implied ; which to me is quite obviously telling people that there a...

One problem of the whole arrangement is that they say to increase numbers in one sport would be to decrease them in another, hence the drop of windsurfing in 2016 for kitesurfing (I think it was). Yes you would think that they would consider the balance of men vs women, but if you look at the cyclin...

Hi all, I'm just trying to do a little bit of market research and am curious as to what people expect to pay for their equipment and what you would actually pay considering what is currently available on the slalom market. What would you pay for a top spec carbon boat? (or expect to) e.g. k1. Galasp...

Well that's ok then

I'd like to take this opportunity to question your wording Dave... Given the agro Matlock was given regarding this... On the canoe slalom home page there are mixed messages as to postponed and cancelled... which is it and should we be considering a rewording of the rules to clarify that cancelled sh...

What about running a technical div 1 course on the legacy loop at LV? I have only seen YouTube videos of both courses so can't really comment on difficulty but from what I have seen it has enough features to utilise!? Or why not have some of the features removed from the main course and run it at a ...

As long as the previous holes are adequatly filled then I cant see it making much difference (If the person who wants the boat is shorter than the boat was set up for). With regard to the difference in how the boat sits in the water, it will depend on the make of boat and its hull shape. i.e if the...

Galasport Toreto 3.5m long, cut for about 60kg. £350 (open to reasonable negotiation) Has a repair on the nose and has been re-seemed at the back. The repairs are strong and the boat is water tight. Ideal for the younger paddler working their way up the rankings. I haven't paddled it for over a yea...
