World Rafting Championships 2016
As you may or may not know, recently the World Rafting Championships were held at Wadi Adventure in the United Arab Emirates. This was an exciting event, with many of the best rafters representing 28 different countries from around the world in attendance.
Although we personally couldn’t be there this year, luckily there were a number of members of the teams taking pictures and sharing to their Instagram accounts so that the rest of us could watch. So, while following along on their pages, we’ve complied a list of some of our favorite pictures from the event.
