Thanks to everyone who came down and braved the sub-zero temperatures on Saturday for the second Pots Rodeo, organised by Exeter University Canoe Club. Unfortunately due to the weather we couldn’t run the Rodeo, but we did make up for it with the Boater-EXE! A wicked course with a super fast start ramp and a massive Yak gate hanging from the bridge led the competitors down the two weirs at Pots, with a massive buoy to go round and the touch-crocodile in the eddy.

£1000 worth of Yak kit was up for grabs thanks to Pete at Yak, along with gear from Big Dog and Squarerock. Check out the Pots Rodeo website for a full write-up coming soon, and see the results here.

Thanks to everyone that helped out on the day and the commited safety team.

The Pots Rodeo is back on the 27th November 2010!

What is the Pots Rodeo?

It’s a freestyle kayaking event on Flowerpots Weir in Exeter, Devon. This is the second Pots Rodeo, and it has been moved from it’s date in February for better chances of water and hopefully it’ll be a little warmer! This time we are adding a Boater-Exe event, which will consist of a race down the two weirs at Pots. Then on the Sunday you can head out to Dartmoor with your club!

And it’s all to raise money for charity. This year it’s DELTA… http://www.deafeducation.org.uk

Bigger Lights, Bigger Sounds, Bigger Moves and a Bigger Party!

Pots Weir is conveniently positioned right next to a pub, and from the pub car park we will be lighting up the Exe with some massive flood lights, AS Watersport’s resident DJ will be set up right next to the river, and all that’s left is for you guys to throw some moves, and head to the afterparty!

Who can compete?

Anyone can compete no matter what your ability. As long as you’ve been on a wave before, and you reckon you can roll you’ll be fine. The only restriction is it’s over 18s only. If you’re not keen on entering then that’s fine… the best place to watch from is the pub car park, and then afterwards there’s the epic party!

How do I enter?
