ICF World Cup in Freestyle Kayaking

The Jackson family, makers of Jackson kayaks (from Tennessee!), were here. Almost all the competitors had a Jackson boat. World Champion Eric Jackson has retired but he was there to cheer on his kids Dane (17) and Emily (21ish). The Jacksons cleaned house!
Team USA kayaks were red, white, and blue!
Emily Jackson earned silver in the women's freestyle competition.
Eric Jackson shows everyone how it's done.
The landscape kind of reminded me of Tennessee.


Many different kinds of boats!
big air on a flip!

Awards were presented by some locals in traditional attire.
Go USA!
Dane Jackson received a medal in all of the four categories of competition he entered: squirt, junior men's freestyle, open canoe, and C1. For this, he received a special medal from the President of Bavaria!
