With special dedication to Team River Runner

The competition takes place at Nantahala Falls from 10:00AM through 3:00PM. Following the competition there will be an after party and screening of the day’s footage at Endless River Adventures.
The Endless River team will be joined by members of Team Wave Sport. The group will coordinate the event from the launching pad at Nantahala Falls, with video cameras arranged to film event participants. Categories always include such events as Best Freestyle through the Falls, Best Top Hole Move, Most Creative Eddy Catching, Best Self-Rescue, Best Carnage, Cutest Run—and anything that comes to mind as the day unfolds! In addition, there will be industry-wide support for the event in terms of prizes. Industry sponsors make it possible to award great prizes for all categories. Everyone comes out of the Nantahala Open a winner!
GEAR SWAP. A gear swap area will be set up at the ERA outpost on the day of the Open. Participants and non-participants alike will be able to set up their gear and swap with, or sell to fellow paddlers.
April 25th will be here before you know it so start making plans now and help make the fifth annual Nantahala Open an event that reflects what we all do-- have fun on the river!

Annual Nantahala Falls Open
The annual Nantahala Open is a fun competition that is open to all boaters no matter the experience or ability. The Open came about because of the fact that once-upon-a-time the kayaking scene was filled with competitions that seemed strictly “experts only.” Recognizing the spirit of kayaking for fun, there are categories for every skill level--and prizes that go along with them! The event takes place on the Nantahala River at the renowned Nantahala Falls rapid. 2011 NANTAHALA OPEN: APRIL 16
