Kayak Freestyle


Freestyle Kayaking, playboating, rodeo, whatever you want to call it, you will not want to miss it at Dominion Riverrock!

Competitors will show-off their biggest and best tricks in the Fishladder rapids just below the Potterfield Bridge as they astound judges and spectators alike for the highest combined score and chance for the championship. The bread and butter, macho man, and donkey flip are just a few of the moves you can expect to see as you catch the action from the Potterfield Bridge .

Participants must be at least 12 years old to participate.
