Wave Sport and the Nantahala Open

How many events are out there where just the normal guy on the river has a chance of winning a new whitewater kayak?!?!? Let's hear it for the Nantahala Open and Wave Sport for their support of the event. Donating a boat is not only support for the Nantahala Open, but also support for Team River Runner and for the awesome group of boaters that participate in the Open.

Not the norm, the Nantahala Open is a non-competitive event for boaters who enjoy paddling the Nantahala. Prizes go to such categories as "cutest run through the Falls, Best Self Rescue, Best Freestyle Run, and this year we are already looking at the pool toy event!!!!

The Wave Sport boat will go to a raffle winner: with the proceeds of the raffle going to support a Team River Runner event at the Nantahala.

Let's keep it coming!! And we sure look forward to the Bryan Kirk and the Wave Sport Team being part of the action.

Shred Ready, SnapDragon, Team Scum, Stohlquist, NRS: everyone is a part of the Nantahala Open!!

What makes the annual Nantahala Open such a success is a) it is a fun non-competitive event; b) great people come from all over to support the event; c) Team Wave Sport comes with all sorts of enthusiasm and.....

the manufacturers' support of the event is first class!!

The 2011 Nantahala Open will be no exception. Already lined up to give their support to the event is a cast of veteran Nantahala Open Supporters:

These friends not only support all of us with their great white water gear, but they support events such as the Nantahala Open--an event for the "normal" paddler out just having fun!


Stay tuned for more!
