UK Pro-Team - Event Programme
For those of you interested in winning a place on a new UK Pro-Team with all the support you need to achieve your ultimate best as a freestyle kayaker below are details of the selection weekend.
We are looking for 5 aspirational paddlers that are either at the top of the sport or have the drive and passion to get to the top. We are going to provide sponsorship, coaching, mentoring, physio, conditioning, nutrition and pro-deals on loads of extreme sports gear. There are big things lined up for this team - this really is like the x-factor of freestyle so get involved.
If you haven't already done it then send your kayaking CV to freestyle@jamesreeves.net.
If you can't make the selection weekend then let us know and we will sort out alternative arrangements - everyone will be considered!
