The first Worldkayak Hometown Throwdown in Boise was April 17th at the Gutter in Horseshoe Bend. We were blessed with some great weather with temps in the mik 60’s. We had a slew of kids with supportive parents and I had more volunteers than I could use. We were fortunate to have Devon Barker and Michael Leeds as judges! The junior class dominated the event with eight kids tearing it up.
The water level was at an in between level making the 4th wave pretty flushy and the 3rd wave was hard to get in. Devon had the great idea of having one hole event and one down river. Everyone had a blast and are already looking forward to the May event. Hope to see you there!
