THE RIVER
The Pacuare river is one of the best 10 in the world, for its rapids, its flora and fauna, it is inside the wild and scenic area next to Barbilla National Park. It is unofficial but it is about to be declared a free river from Dam threats. We will hold all the races on the Pacuare San Joaquin section which is a Class IV plus, pool drop section with large drops, big rocks and gradient close to 100 ft per mile. Depending on the water level the down river will be between San Martin and Siquirres or from Bajo Pacuare to San Joaquin. Either way we will have a world class race on a world class river. You will not be disappointed by the whitewater sections we race on and the jungle experience will only add to this great location.
EQUIPMENT
14 foot Sotar’s, with three thwarts.
TELEVISION AND BRANDING
This event will be filmed by a national television. Team’s branding is allowed only on paddles and helmets.
