Slalom Canoeing Slalom canoeing is one of the competitive disciplines of canoeing. Competitors are timed in completing a descent down the rapids of a wild water course (natural or artificial), in the process steering their canoe (canadian) or kayak through gates (a pair of suspended poles about 1m apart), including going up against the flow, across the flow, and surfing the standings waves of the rapids. Slalom Canoeing is organised by the International Canoe Federation, which was founded in 1924.
