Louis. Anyway, I want to organize some sweet prizes, and have music / food Events that I am thinking about are... Flatwater rodeo -two 45 second heats, 3 judges scoring on style n entertainment, not some rubric Pull a swimmer race -race across the pool with a swimmer getting dragged behind your boat -2 man teams -the catch, the swimmer you drag is NOT your teammate Big Air -boat tossing -teams of up to 5 people bounce and toss a boater up in the air and they do a trick -big trick wins Best flatwater trick -throw is big, throw it down -20 seconds to throw your biggest and nastiest any comments, suggestions? I would love to have some help with some part of this whether it be music, food or prizes Thanks, Gordon ------------- Kayak Academy Whitewater Instructor Replies: Posted By: James Date Posted: 31 Dec 2007 at 11:38am #1 is that you can't have a flatwater rodeo without a swak off. I can't believe that was not listed considering the birthplace of the sport! and another thought is that you should really have 2 flatwater rodeo's one with a paddle and one with hands only. -------------
