Kayak Freestyle and Big Air:
When kayaks fly off!

In this discipline, it's all about the show:
Riders have 30 seconds to surf the wave called "Hawaii sur Rhône", and execute the most spectacular moves.
Among the most accountable in the eyes of the jury, are the aerial moves, where the paddlers fly literally above water!

This year the world most famous freestylers will make the trip to Lyon:
Jutta Kaiser (Germany, world champion),
Ruth Gordon (Canada),
Tanya Schuman (USA),
Laura Nash (Canada),
Eric Jackson (USA, triple world champion),
Pat Camblin (Canada),
Steve Fisher (South Africa),
Corran Adisson (Canada),
Dustin Urban (USA),
Anthony Yapp (Australia),
Marlow Long (USA),
Jimmy Blakeney (USA),
Tyler Curtis (Canada),
Matt Cook (UK),
Mark Birkeck (UK),
but also some locals Mathieu and Romain Dumoulin, David Arnaud, Simon Duchene, Myka Hyla, Ludo Escurier, and Benjamin Durand…
Take notice of the unusual presence of Team Uganda flying all the way from Africa for the festival.
They will all be here for the party on this mythical wave for an even better show…
