OCF2013


For the 4th year in a row took place the Open Canoe Festival gethering together 500 canoe and outdoor lovers on the river banks of the Drôme Valley in Mirabel-et-Blacons.

Paul Villecourt the organizor had bad luck with flood water level of the Drôme River but organized a pretty sweet schedule with tons of amazing and useful workshops!!
Paddlers had the chance to enjoy a great outdoor weekend and began their kayak season as they had to: with friends in a great atmosphere!!

Paul asked me once again to realized the video of the Open Canoe Festival.
Enjoy.

Canoeing the Drôme

Water level was too high to run the river with canoe, so we did some rafting descents.
Yeah I'm the stupid man putting his paddle up in the air.

Another great Open Canoe Festival, unfornuately the weather wasn't good but we all had a great weekend outdoor canoeing with friends!!
Thanks to all volunters, and a massive thank you to Paul Villecourt and Philippe Bouvat!!
