Extreme Slalom:
We will be exhibiting the Extreme slalom on each race weekend (Sunday) and all competitors must attend an orientation (once off) conducted by PWS prior to the event.
If you are intending to compete in the Extreme Slalom, then you must nominate your interest when making your entry for the Canoe Slalom.
You can either use the provided boats (limited) or bring your own extreme slalom boat, if it meets the ICF criteria which is outlined here in the pdf at the bottom of the page.
There will be no time trials held at the events and the extreme slalom start list will be formed from the results of the Canoe Slalom event from Saturday’s racing.
Entry Fees:
Entry fee will include Extreme Slalom
All three event weekends $120
One event weekend $50
Tickets:
The online system will allow you to purchase a ticket for all three weekends which is at a discounted price or purchase tickets for each individual weekend.
