COME CHECK OUT THE 6TH ANNUAL LEVEL SIX CAPITAL CUP....
EVENT DESCRIPTION:
Every year our company hosts a freestyle kayaking event called "The Level Six Capital Cup" at Bates Island off Island Park. Under the bridge crossing the Quebec side is an amazing wave where kayakers from all over come to play! This year is especially exciting for us because Wilderness Tours will be hosting the World's the weekend following our event. Athletes from all over the world will be arriving in our city to compete, and our event will be a great opportunity to kick everything off. Level Six is one of the main sponsors for the Worlds, and we have been working with Wilderness Tours to create a lasting impression for these athletes. Level Six Capital Cup will offer an opportunity to have some fun and meet other paddlers from all over the world.
WHEN:
The Level Six Capital Cup will take place on the weekend of April 21-22nd, with a big celebration on the night of the 21st. We are hoping for the support of as many paddlers as possible to help keep the industry alive!
COSTS:
Spectators: FREE
As a Sponsor: Email me for details
Competitors: Pro Category(Saturday)- $30.00 with a chance to win a great cash prize. ($40.00 for late entries).
Amateur Category (Sunday)- $25.00 with great prizes offered to top 3 positions ($35.00 for late entries).
That's right! This year we will be holding the pro categories on Saturday, and the amateurs, or open category on Sunday. With all the international athletes coming in for the worlds (the following weekend), we felt the need to break it up a bit to be sure we had enough time to have everyone to get their money's worth. It is also our goal to have the newby freestylers maybe feel less intimidated by all the "pro boaters." No you don't have to be a sponsored athletes or on one of the world teams to compete with the big boys and girls, you simply have to be ready and aware of the level.
