Canoe Sprint Paddles and Olympic Canoe Sprint Tickets

Paddles for propelling are double-bladed for kayaks, and single-bladed for canoes, and are usually made of carbon fiber with epoxy. For kayaks so called wing paddles are generally used, the blades of which are shaped to resemble a wing. These paddles are more efficient than traditional paddles, presumably because they create extra "lift" in the direction the kayak moves. The wing blade has undergone many evolution in the past two decades, evolving from a flatter blade to one with a more pronounced curve to better catch the water. For racing canoes, the blade will typically be short and broad, with a 'power face' on one side that is either flat or scalloped out. 

The shaft will typically be longer than a tripping canoe paddle, because the kneeling position puts the paddler higher above the surface of the water. More recent designs of canoe racing paddles often have a slight bent shaft a concept of Gene Jensen in the 1950s but not to the degree used in marathon paddles. Many high-performance canoe paddlers prefer the feel of a carbon fiber shaft mated to a wooden blade, while nearly all high-performance kayak paddlers use paddles made completely of carbon fiber.

The British Canoe Union and Canoe Slalom Tickets

The British Canoe Union is delighted to announce that the International Canoe Federation has awarded us the 2015 Canoe Slalom World Championships at the Lee Valley White Water Centre, London, home to Canoe Slalom in 2012. In a tightly fought contest, the British Canoe Union managed to prevail over a strong bid from the French Canoe Federation, bringing the Championships back to British waters for the first time in 20 years.

Delighted with the announcement, Paul Owen, British Canoe Union, CEO, commented “The British Canoe Union is extremely proud and excited to have been awarded the 2015 Canoe Slalom World Championships at Lee Valley White Water Centre. We are fully committed to delivering a World Class Event on behalf of the International Canoe Federation. I would like to thank our partners for the fantastic support the British Canoe Union has received in preparation of the bid, especially that of our Government, Lee Valley Regional Park, and UK Sport who all played a substantial part in the bids success. I am convinced that the 2015 Canoe Slalom World Championship will be a fantastic event, providing an excellent opportunity to showcase our sport worldwide.”

A contributing factor in the decision to award the Championship to Great Britain was to ensure the legacy of the State of the Art white water stadium post the Olympic Games, Lee Valley and Canoe Slalom are the first 2012 legacy venue to have won a World Championships. Another great strength of the bid was the partnerships and commitment displayed between Lee Valley Regional Park Authority, UK Sport and the BCU. A thrilled Shaun Dawson Chief Executive of Lee Valley Regional Park Authority commented “We are delighted to host the World Championships here at Lee Valley White Water Centre. The competition allows us to see legacy in action and raise the profile of this exciting sport to a wider audience. We are looking forward to hosting the event and bringing an international audience to the Centre in 2015.”

Essential to the success of the bid was the dedicated support from UK Sport, the nation’s high performance sports agency. Through their National Lottery funded World Class Events Program, the bid was provided with significant support and financial assistance from the UK Government, which no doubt had major impact in securing the Championship.

Eton Dorney Lake and Olympic Canoe Sprint Tickets

Eton Dorney is a purpose built rowing lake in the United Kingdom. It is located at grid reference SU929779 near the village of Dorney, Buckinghamshire, and near the towns of Windsor and Eton, close to the River Thames. 

The lake is privately owned and financed by Eton College, who has spent £17 million developing it. Additional grants, totaling £500,000, were obtained from Sport England, UK Sport, the DCMS and SEEDA in order to build the lake's finish tower. The project took over 10 years until completion in 2006. Although it is primarily for use by the school, the facilities are hired out for rowing, as well as for canoeing, dragon boating and triathlon training.

The lake will be used as the 2012 Summer Olympic venue for rowing and Olympic Canoe Sprint the whitewater events will take place at Lee Valley White Water Centre in Hertfordshire, and as the 2012 Summer Paralympics venue for rowing.

 This will involve enhancing the existing facilities to include 20,000 seats for Olympic spectators; most of these seats will be temporary. Construction began in October 2009 of enhancements to Dorney Lake, including a new cut-through between the competition lake and the return lane, a new bridge and an upgraded access road, funded by the Olympic Delivery Authority. The Olympics venue is officially termed Eton Dorney.
