Additional Info: The Nene White Water course is an artificial grade 2 course, 300m in length. Due to its concrete construction, composite boats are not suitable for the course – therefore please dust off your Wavehoppers and general purpose kayaks and come and have some fun. Depending on numbers of entries it is likely that we will request Wavehoppers to be shared between paddlers and clubs. Also, if you have access to a Topo duo please bring it along and test your skills.
