Kayak Pour La Vie - Rouge River Challenge Event Recap


OPS Team paddlers Adam Chappell, Marcos Gallegos, and Philip Kompass sweep the poduim with there respective partners at the Rouge River Challenge!

This fantastic downriver racing event took place last weekend on the Rouge River. Decent weather and high water levels made for a exciting event. The 7 sisters section was divided into 2 different racing sections and teams of 2 paddled together to as fast and efficiently as possible to make a total combined time.
