Championnats de France Kayak, Metz 2011

This last week-end the best french kayakers were in Metz (East of France) to compete the French Kayak Championships. Multi-disciplines like slalom and freestyle were in the same spot and it's rare but good for the freestyle as people who don't know this sport can discovered it. Like in the ski world, freestyle is always the "little brother" that big medias don't use to talk about (I should say never), but freestyle kayakers like freestyle skiers are real athletes with a huge technical and physical level. Thanks to Lucille Boudat for the very good organisation, and to all the kayakers for the level they brought in Metz and for the big saturday night party! To see more images, here is a slideshow I've made.
