Over the weekend in Pau, France, the second stage of the WRF's Euro Rafting Cup Series splashed down at the Pau-Pyrénées Whitewater Stadium. This event doubled as a National Championship, deciding who will represent the country at the European Rafting Championships in Bosnia and Herzegovina later this year (https://wrf.rsportz.com/competitions/5429/seasons/7406).
With the Aqua Design's fleet of rafts always present, nearly twenty teams hit the water, kicking off the french season with a bang. The Italian teams dominated the European standings, with Ivrea's Team taking the men's title, Verona leading the women's and mixed categories, and Italian's National Para-Rafting Team securing the victory.
On the national front, Team Parc Aquasports took the men's crown, followed by CKC Vallee du Dropt and Team Tarbes CK - CK NAY. In the women's category, PCKCU claimed victory, with Haut Couserant close behind.
With the European Championships just around the corner, teams are gearing up for intense training sessions to ensure they're in peak condition for the big event. Next on the calendar is the Euro Cup in the Czech Republic from May 24-26th (https://wrf.rsportz.com/competitions/4421/seasons/7462).
