A Challenging Weekend at EC Lipno

25 Aug 2022 11:48 AM

The traditional Czech Cup and European Cup in downriver race took place in the Czech Republic last
weekend. Under the Lipno dam, rafters from 4 different countries (CZE, ITA, GER, JAP) have met,
including several medalists from this year’s World Rafting Championship in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The course under Lipno dam is one of the most difficult and at the same time the most beautiful
courses in general.

RAFTING SINCE 1997!

23 Aug 2022 09:10 AM

The very first love for competitive rafting was shown back in 1989, when Russians and Americans joined forces and organized the first rafting competitions – up to 50 teams competed in Siberia (1989), USA (1990), Costa Rica (1991) and Turkey (1993).

The only logical step after that was the establishment of an International Rafting Federation.

The initial key areas for this representation were Guide Training & Education and Sport & Competitions.

We need more RIVER GUARDIANS

19 Aug 2022 02:41 PM

In order to save the planet, and leave a clean one behind, we need more river guardians. One person is not enough for one river, everyone needs to know that they are the owner of the title of “guardian”.

The river from the source to the mouth has freedom and its own nature, where it allows us to use all the beauty.

Garbage dumps are not the result of climate change, we need to be guardians of our environment.
