Canoe Slalom - Rob van Bommel Photography

In Canoe Slalom, paddlers have to navigate the kayak or canoe through pairs of poles, called "gates", set up over the challenging rapids, waves, eddies and currents on a stretch of wildwater.

I find it a challenge to capture the essence of the sport and the excitement of the moment that often lasts for just a hundredth of a second, in one single shot. Photography becomes an unconscious ability, just like Slalom Racing.
