Shufoy · 08-31-2008, 03:09 AM

My friends in the White water kayak club gave me a holler, and asked if i could design and build them a kicker ramp for the annual Murray White Water Festival, well i did!

Here's the results!

Rough drawing.

The Construction!

Site Assembly!

The day itself was awesome, heres a vid, and a few pics!

Actually any new people that want to come fishing with us have to ride the Kicker to show they are made of the right stuff, we will set it up on a popular yak launch site and sort out the men from the girls

What I want to know is do you use an olympic score system? Points for
difficulty, distance, and artistic expression.
Looks kike too much fun

Set it up on Steep Point. That will definitely separate the men from the boys (and arms from torsos, legs from hips......)lol

hmmm.... I see uses for this on summer weekends at La Jolla... Why paddle through the tourists when you can paddle over them? Brilliant!
