Get together for the "Kettle River Rodeo" on Sunday May 4th, 2008.

Paddlers compete by doing stunts and tricks on river waves and holes. Paddlers will self-judge, rating each other by difficulty of stunt, fluidity between stunts and by crowd approval.

Registration for the rodeo will be from 11 A.M. to 12 noon on Sunday, May 4. Sign-up at the boat in Banning State Park. Fees are $10 for ACA members and $15 for non ACA members. 

Water levels will determine the rapids to be surfed. This decision will be made Sunday prior to the event.
