White Water Slalom Aims for European Levels on West River
Officials at the White Water Slalom on the West River Jamaica last weekend boosted water flow to 19 000 gallons per minute, narrowing the gap to European competition where 20 000 gpm is standard. The event showcases long courses, multiple gates, nerve, stamina and racing skill, as Bart Hauthaway noted a novice would fail to tackle the rapids.
