Calgary 2012 - One More Sleep To Go
Here are a couple of pic's of the venue from the far side of the Lake. It is very similar conditions to Karapiro, just lacking the spectator bank.
We still don't have confirmation on the live streaming, but if it does become available a link will be posted on this site.

I brought the GoPro with me, but I can't put it on the canoes during the races, so we chucked it on one of the V1's today, so you can get a close up view of the course.
It's not the most exciting video in the world, but better then nothing I guess.
Good luck to the NZ paddlers, post your comments here, and I print them out and pass them around in the morning.
