Whitewater Kayaking Enjoys Growing Popularity in Bulgaria



The Bulgarian Kayak Society held its second national meeting entitled "
Fast-Water Kayaking – Struma 2010"
over the weekend.

Several competitions were organized along the Struma River in the Kresna Gorge in Southwestern Bulgaria as part of the event.

Over 50 whitewater kayaking enthusiasts participated in the races, with many more people attending as viewers.

The races took place along a new fast-water route prepared by the Bulgarian Kayak Society, and funded by its own members.

Whitewater kayaking is finding more and more fans all over Bulgaria in the recent years, said the Bulgarian Kayak Society in a statement dedicated to the event. The Society is working to promote kayaking by organizing courses and drills.

Thanks for this post, the sport is growing here.
We like to do the white water stuff but also enjoy the family days out. Where everyone can have a go.
Its scares most people when they just see white water.
