In 2007 Adidas Announced that there would be an official World Champs for extreme racing in Austria. With the Competition date set and everyone ready to race the weather came in a the river rose to un-raceable flows and it was canceled. Not to be taken back by this, organisers set another date in 2008 and the event was on again. While kayaking with Sam earlier in the year after his success at some races throughout Europe he mentioned that he would head home for a month and train for the race and return to dominate the competition! Now this isnt a random Extreme race where the top races from that county and the odd traveler batle it out. NO. This is a race where the top racers from round the world meet and race off for the top position in the world.
Sam's time back in NZ went well with a strict training programme and dedicated 6.30am practice races down his local Kaituna River.
On Friday Sam boards the plane and is off to Austria to put his training to the test and show the world that he means business.
Keep an eye out here and on www.samsutton.com for updates.

GOOD LUCK SAM!
