freestyle european championships

LIEKSA WAVE, FINLAND

A rare treat for freestyle paddlers, this year’s European Championships are taking place on a wave in Finland from June 10th to 13th. The competition officially started yesterday, and you can watch it live on the Paddle Europe YouTube channel!

 

In eastern Finland, the Neitikoski rapid in Ruunaa is the country’s most popular place for freestyle due to its consistent and favorable conditions. With clean natural water and the midnight sun, making it possible to paddle in daylight around the clock, the conditions are excellent for an epic competition.

 

It has been some time since the last major wave event, and paddlers are eager to measure themselves against one another on this feature. We’re excited to see what this week will bring!
