The opening race of the series took place at the Cardiff International White Water facility in Wales from 21 to 23 June. It featured the team events for the first time at a world cup meeting. The organizers experienced water pump problems during the C1 final which caused a lack of water on the course and a 30-minute delay of competition.{{cite web|last=Sarah|first=John|title=Where did the water go?|url=http://cardiffbay2013.worldcup.events.slalom.canoeicf.com/en/news/2013-06-22-where-did-water-go|publisher=International Canoe Federation|accessdate=23 June 2013}} Great Britain topped the medal table in the individual events with 2 golds, 1 silver and 1 bronze.{{cite web|title=Medal Table|url=http://cardiffbay2013.worldcup.events.slalom.canoeicf.com/en/medal-table|publisher=International Canoe Federation|accessdate=23 June 2013}}

The penultimate world cup race took place in Tacen, Slovenia from 16 to 18 August. The organizers were forced to re-run the final races of the women's K1 event and the men's C2 event due to troubles with the water level. For the same reason the team events in these 2 disciplines have been cancelled.{{Cite web |url=http://tacen2013.worldcup.events.slalom.canoeicf.com/en/news/2013-08-18-repetition-final-races-k1w-and-c2-team-races-cancelled |title = Repetition of final races in K1w and C2; team races cancelled {{!}} slalom-tacen.icf.kunden.team23.de |access-date=2013-08-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130820003016/http://tacen2013.worldcup.events.slalom.canoeicf.com/en/news/2013-08-18-repetition-final-races-k1w-and-c2-team-races-cancelled |archive-date=2013-08-20 |url-status=bot: unknown }} The women's C1 team event did not take place due to lack of participating teams. Slovenia won 2 golds and 2 bronzes in the individual events which was enough to win the medal table. Jessica Fox won both the K1 and the C1 event, becoming the first female paddler to win both events at one world cup race.[http://www.kajak-zveza.si/moduli/rezultati/files/Svetovni_pokal_Tacen_2013_XJTx.pdf Official results - World Cup Race 4] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304230042/http://www.kajak-zveza.si/moduli/rezultati/files/Svetovni_pokal_Tacen_2013_XJTx.pdf |date=2016-03-04 }} - Retrieved August 26, 2013
