Motoari -

Some of your fellow countrymen and women came to the US for the Open Canoe Slalom Nationals and did quite well. They, too were in Millbrook boats...

Nice pictures!

It's really interesting how Japanese rivers look like, very nice pics, thanks! Is there a possibility (website) to see more of Japan's Rivers?

Someone should start a "Forum-Cboaters from allover the word show you favorite rivers" thread. :-)

Thank you everyone for your responses.

> Are there many OC or C boaters in Japan?

I think not so many C boaters live in Japan.
Slalom entry result at the latest local event were:

K1 : 100 person
C1 : 7
C2 : 3
OC1 : 2

Yes, only 2 paddlers,
but look at in a new light,
it's a great opportunity for novice OC rider like me.
If I enter the OC1 class, and finish the goal line
either on my Rumba or swimming under my boat,
I'll win the 3rd prize :wink:

Sorry, but I can't find such site.

That's great idea.
I'll prepare my pictures for your new thread. :D

cheers....

Thank you...

Thank you for sharing your images and enthusiasm! The river (and scenery) is beautiful.

I'll start a thread for international river posts:)
