Buller Fest 2007

Mens Open slalom 3rd place

The first weekend in March every year is Buller Fest time here in Murchison.
On the friday 65 competitors showed up for the down river race on the lower section of the Matakitaki. Racing head to head in heats with four paddlers, its about getting a good quick start and blasting downriver 400m to the finish rock.

The sat events were the Kayak Slalom and Raftacross at Osullivan's rapid. It was a massive turnout especially in the novice women and men sections.
The Big Air competition took place on the sunday. It was one by a guy with a broken leg!
see www.thephotochick.co.nz for all images from the festival.

Some heats are closer than others! Semifinal time, sudden death only the winner advances.
Sam, Eden and number 70 battle it out.
