There are no official federations and organizations within extreme kayaking. Many expedition kayakers don’t typically race, but they are very athletic and very skilled, which is why there has been a strong desire amongst extreme kayakers to have a world championship.
The Oetz Trophy tests the kayakers’ ability to not only get down one of the world’s most challenging rapids in one piece, but to do it fast as well. At the same time the Extreme Kayak Championships attracts many of the best slalom and freestyle paddlers, because they can combine their fitness with adrenaline.
