The 2012 Freestyle Kayaking World Cup Champion was decided on September 9 on the Nantahala River near Bryson City NC. Athletes from more than 17 countries and 5 continents participated.

Judges used the new NOC digital freestyle scoring system, which was unveiled for the 2012 World Cup Series, and real-time scores were displayed at the venue. "The scoring system makes the sport truly accessible to spectators and enthusiasts," said designer Raymond Brugger of Bryson City, NC.

Competition began at 10 am each day and ended around 7 pm. Spectators had free admission with shaded riverside seating, live DJ and event announcer.

Free live music followed the competition on Friday and Saturday evening. On Sunday, following the conclusion of competition, the event winners as well as the overall World Cup Champions were recognized at a riverside awards ceremony. Several local children assisted with the presentation of medals.
