About
A 35 km K1 practice and race section running through scenic country beside the Cederberg range. Largely flat with only a few small rapids, the challenge comes from narrow palmiet channels producing fast currents and tight corners. A weir roughly halfway can be run straight over at high levels but must be portaged when low.
