adidas SICKLINE Extreme Kayak World Championship 2013

150 of the world’s finest whitewater, slalom and freestyle paddlers from no less than 24 different countries met in the picturesque town of Oetz to compete for world championship honours on the legendary Wellerbrücke rapids, a section of the glacier-fed Ötztaler Ache River that is considered to be one of the most difficult whitewater sections on the planet. 24-year old Joe Morley from Leeds in Great Britain put in a commanding final run on Ötztaler Ache River today, outpaddling a field full of the best extreme kayakers in the world, one which included the seemingly unbeatable 3-time world champion Sam Sutton from New Zealand.
