All the events are over. The slalom course has been taken down. The manufacturer's display areas in Riverside Park have been packed up. Nearly everyone but the Festival organizers and a few volunteers have departed for home. Not Jay Kincaid, or EJ. They're turning ends at Riverside Park. Maybe they're working on splits, getting as vertical as possible, staying locked into a spot, or working on a new move. Or maybe they're just enjoying being on the river in the warm afternoon sun.

The Festival, usually held the 3rd weekend in April, is in it's 38th year. For full results and more photos, see the Kern River Festival section of the Kern Valley River Council website.
