Best Welsh Short Film Competition:
- More details to be released soon but if you know of a runnable Welsh 186.5 foot waterfall why not get your mate to do it, film him and enter our competition (and probably win).
Other highlights of the event:
- Demo boat test weekend with Big Dog Kayaks, Dagger, Jackson Kayaks, Riot Kayaks, and Wavesport all bringing their latest.
- Paddleworks will have their shop onsite all weekend bringing the usual mix of kit, clothing and boats you would expect. Including most of the boat brands available to demo. The Festival will also see the exiting launch of Paddleworks' own coaching programme offered in conjunciton with Andy Turton.
- The Palm Europe 8-Ball Race - just like the famous Teva Games 8-Ball race in Colorado but seeing as it's the British version good sportsmanship will be the order of the day and we'll be much more polite when we push each other in "After me old chap, I insist". Have a look at this (no $100,000 cash prize, but maybe some!)to see whats in store.
- The PeakUK multisport challenge - Run, Cycle, Paddle but hopefully don't swim on the tough multisport course; so you think your pretty quick at running, always overtake 100 bikers on your Llandegla Loop and never lose a race down the Tryweryn to your mates then this could be an event designed for you so enter now and start working out whats best to wear your triathalon one-piece, cycling bib shorts or so much cooler baggy (but less aerodynamic and hotter) paddling kit - we shall see! This will be possibly the toughest race at the Tryweryn since 1981..
-
Become King or Queen of Tryweryn Freestyle; Big Dog Kayaks and squarerock will be running freestyle events at the Topsite and NRA Wave to find the best All Tryweryn freestyle paddlers.
- The massive lower river expedition; we want everyone at the event to join us for a paddle on the lower river and Alpkit even promise to bring some over night kit for anyone who needs a rest along the way...
