So where do I go to race whitewater?

Hi guys new to the forum. Just curious if anyone knows of any whitewater race circuits or scenes out there. North America preferably. Also I got a sick place for a river race.

Thanks!

I have been driving rescue zodiacs in grade 3/4 high volume whitewater for the last 6 years. I would be keen on getting a race started on my home river here in canada. Anyone know if Zodiac is still sponsoring races and pushing there line of boats via active media.........

That's a great video, thanks for posting it. I had no idea this sort of racing existed, and always thought that propellers and rapids would be a really bad combination (but to be fair we don't really have high volume white water in the UK).

Let us know if you manage to get anything together!

If you want to see a thunder cat in whitewater buy steve fishers black book. He is a world renowned south african kayaker. The video in general will blow your mind but he has some good whitewater thunder cating

This looks exciting! Looks like even the bigger boats are capable of catching some air!
