I think there is an argument for retaining penalties which hasn't been discussed yet. With a penalty for a touch, the paddler races with the intent of not hitting poles. This results in there being relatively few fifties and not too many difficult judging decisions to be taken. Remove the penalty a...

I had a go at ski slalom once. Excellent fun and all over too quickly. Strange thing is although I didn't miss any gates, I couldn't get near enough to the inside pole to hit it either. I was obviously too cautious. Single pole ups will be brilliant and much more exciting than the HPP Euros when th...

I'd go to a slalom any day. If you want time on the water, why don't you paddle on a river for free? When you enter a slalom you are paying to enter a race and for all the infrastructure required for that including the ranking system. I find it difficult to understand the value for money in terms o...

Sorry if I widen the debate a little but surely the real problem is that we are not encouraging enough people into our sport. There are too few clubs and the few that exist aren't attracting new slalom paddlers fast enough. Barry Peake - a Previous Slalom committee Chairman suggested that each slal...

So how happy were you with the race at Teesside? Saturday Div 1 entries not informed that their entry was not accepted ! Start delayed because event organizers changed the schedule so that judges first runs would be timed and judged. That lost nearly an hour because the timing team had to set their...

I thought that this weekend's course was one of the best we've had at this venue. The winner's time (well done Campbell) was in the right parish at 94 seconds and the course was pretty testing with some quite difficult staggers set in places. The race ran pretty well too after a late water switch o...

Good reply John. I think the explanation you give should lead jke to the right length with good hand positioning. Just on point 5 - "The longer the shaft the more leverage you have." In fact this is the reverse. The longer the shaft the more leverage the paddle has on you. If you consider the fulcr...

Big thanks to all who helped with the running of the event this weekend. I am not going to go into names but you know who you are. I was pleased to announce Jake's promotion at prize giving, but hadn't studied the points closely enough for the other classes so please let me put the record straight ...
