Last
weekend I (Bram) raced the Devils Extreme Race in Lipno Czech Republic. It was
my first extreme kayak race, so it was a new (and awesome!) experience.
To begin
with, the whole weekend was awesome! The qualification course was a 4min course
with ‘Window’ in it. My race here went pretty good, lost some time at the end
but it was still good as I finished 13th and the first 32 could go
through to the ‘Headtohead’ system.

The
‘Headtohead’ was paddled on ‘The Stairs’ section. It’s a really cool section
where you can paddle different lines and need to find the fastest one. I had to
race against my bro Cole O’conner who had a pretty nice run, me on the other
hand made some mistakes and came in after Cole. Couldn’t go trough to the next
round so the individual race stopped here for me. But I was still stoked on the
whole race and still pretty happy with my qualification run.

After my
race I stayed to watch Mike Dawson take the win before Michal Buchtel and Sam
Sutton.
