Biography

Michal Buchtel is a Czech slalom canoeist. Between 2002 and 2011, he competed at an international level where he won the gold medal in the team event at the 2009 World Canoe Slalom Championships.

I started the slalom on a small natural rapid near Carlsbad. This became my training course until I was 17 years old when I moved to Prague and started training at the USK.

His sport

Kayak

Following the destruction of the clapière wave during the December 2023 floods, we are unable to organize a kayak competition.

Kayakers are still welcome at the festival to enjoy the many rivers in the area. All they need to do is obtain a festival pass and/or camping pitch directly from the reception desk at the La Clapière municipal campsite.

We’ll be pulling out all the stops to ensure that kayaking makes a big comeback next year.
