which will take place at the same location
next weekend.

Thanks, Iso3200, RK and Penny. Yes, Penny, he is wearing nose plugs. He was one of five people practicing different kinds of Kayak Rolls as long as I stood there watching. I wonder if it is common to use nose plugs during competitions.

are those nose plugs? - and I hope his eyes aren't closed because he's wearing contacts (that would be bad) - really though, it's a nice action shot!

Certainly fits the brief. I almost got wet looking at it.
