That is awesome. We dont have to many pre built concrete Kayak courses around here so it might be a little tuff to build the sliders but some of the rivers might be cool to winch.

So amazing the type of riding thats now capable due to winches.

just think about how easy it would be to retrieve the rope and handle if you fall.
End up at the beginning of the course due to the flow and just put the winch spool in free and it will follow....
Hmm ... now if i had a million dollars....

Wow, that is a great idea. A winch pool with a current in order to send the handle back! Nice!
