The 2007 Freestyle Kayaking Championships kicked off on April 29 (Day 1) at Wilderness Tours with the opening ceremonies. A few words of inspiration from the Organizers, the waving of the flags and of course a Canadian musical and we were set to begin the greatest “Worlds” ever. However, with the promise of Bussy, yet zero water arriving and only an hour training slot on the wave prior to competition, the mood among the paddlers was mixed. Although some were ready to at least try and win the Party.

    The first on water action (Day 2) came from the Squirt category. Personally, I didn’t really know a lot about Squirt boating and expected to be bored out of my mind sitting filming it all day. I mean lets face it, filming the surface of the water while they’re under it sounds pretty lame. But, I was surprised when they started throwing down crazy flat water moves all over the place, and if you haven’t heard of this Japanese guy Coyo, you will ! He is like a deadly flat water ballerina ninja. Its all pretty impressive stuff.
