Kottayam, Kerala State, India.

The 123rd edition of the Kottayam Boat Race / Champions Boat League (CBL), held on 16 NOVEMBER 2024

The most impressive of all the boat races of Kerala is the Snake Boat Race, which is commonly referred to as Chundanvallams. The brilliant performance of the rowers portrays the inherent sporting zeal and sportsman spirit of the local inhabitants of the southern state of India Kerala.

Snake boat has got a length of 100 – 120 feet and usually more than a hundred people are on board. Both the ends of the boats are raised from water level. The rear end has a height of about twenty feet from the surface of water. Nearly eighty six persons are rowers, ten to fifteen are to give the rhythm, four are to steer the vessel. It will finish the 1.4 Km track in less then 5 minutes.

surfing in newquay, cornwall

After a week of heavy rain the dam at Leixlip on the Liffey is opened to release pressure. The result is heaven for the local canoeists! This one was taken just below the Palmerstown weir, a few kilometres below the dam.

Het dorp is in de Middeleeuwen ontstaan als een streekdorp aan de sloot die vanaf Oudegaasterbrekken naar de Schuttelpoel liep. De uitgroei tot komdorp begon in de 19e eeuw, met de opkomst van de watersport.

Het werd in tweede helft van de 13e eeuw in een vervalst document uit 1132 vermeld als Aldekerke. In een ander document uit diezelfde eeuw, een kopie van een document uit 1245 werd het vermeld als Aldakerke.

In 1398 werd het vermeld als uoldegae, in 1399 als Oldega, in 1399 als Oldenkerc en in 1505 als Oldegae. Oorspronkelijk wees de plaatsnaam naar het feit dat het bij een oudere kerk was gelegen. Later is dat verschoven naar de betekenis dat het ouder dorp (ga) was.

Kitesurfen is een vorm van watersport waarbij de sporter op een kleine surfplank staat en zich voort laat trekken door een kite (of: vlieger). Iemand die aan kitesurfen doet, wordt een kiter, kitesurfer of kiteboarder genoemd.
