World Freestyle Kayak Championships
Aug 31, 2009 – Sep 06, 2009
At the end of August 2009, about 400 of the world's best freestyle kayakers will gather in Thun to compete against one another in the Freestyle World Championships 2009. They come from all over the world to Switzerland, willing to risk it all for this competition.
The
city of Thun, with it's very impressive Scherzligschleuse, offers a
unique platform for the Freestyle World Championships. The wave of Thun
is only rideable after the flood gates have been properly adjusted. The
adjustment of the gates to form a surfable wave is performed only once
a year: last time for the VW Multivan River Jam 2008. Which means that
all the athletes compete under the same conditions, without any
advantages for anybody.
