ICF 2009 World Championships Thun

Practice Rune at the ICF 2009 World Championship

Last weekend we headed towards Thun to do some hiking. We had about a 30 minute layover in Thun before we had to catch a boat to our final destination so we decided to see a bit of the town.

We happened upon the ICF 2009 World Championships. Although I don't know anything about it, it appears to be some short of freestlye canoe trick competition. The contestants compete by doing all sorts of crazy tricks on a standing wave in the river.

The event runse from 31th August to 6th September and is about a 3 minute walk from the main train station in Thun. If you are looking for a bit of adventure it might be something to check out.
