We thought we lost our club Duo at the bottom of the Teifi (in the Cauldron rapid at Llandysul) but fortunatly it came back to the surface a short while after.
Why you should wear the correct size Buoyancy Aid
มุมมอง 3.9K11 หลายเดือนก่อน
Belle wore a BA that was either too old or too small and had a fun time finding out why you shouldnt do that. On the river Teifi at Henllan Falls, she stayed underwater for 6 seconds which felt like a very long time but eventually floated up and got rescued.

BrumTour 2.0 - The FAFFIEST trip you'll go on
If there's no Father SENDMAS, frankly I'm not very interested at this time of year.
I really hope I’m not on the naughty list, I’m asking Father SENDMAS for full spate river levels.
@@murrayweir Santa Brownclaws will see what he can do.
Cool!
Wow I’ve always viewed you as a role model, a great kayaker and above all someone to aspire to but that helmetless surfing has changed my opinion. No good men left. Sort it out mate😢
Should know better than to kayak without a helmet......
This looks so much fun. I wish I can already do this too :D
Epic video
thats the DEE
Great video looks like you had loads of fun
Muito Bom O Vídeo , em qual Pais Foi isso ?
Hey thanks! This is in the lake district in England
That's what a trip should be - fun - great to see you in & out of the boats and just having fun
We were on our first river of the day. With a second one to run we didn't want to waste any time. The first really big rapid was a 20' waterfall. Usually we would take the new paddlers out above the falls and look at it, But, we didn't want to waste any time. So I talked the three girls into following me. I took the safest line and they all ran it. Successful, we stopped and they walked back up for a second run. But I knew the river and the line. There were no variables to be concerned about, however in afterthought, I don't think I would do that again. Every paddler should know what they are getting into before they go
Quite loving just watching along with all the progress you guys are making! It's a lot of fun!
Even got the booty beers!
Lovely little river for some kayaking!
Nice polo video. Good to see the sport out there
Cracking video guy,s, great teamwork at 10.00🙂
You love the faff
Nice run
What idiot would paddle the Dee in a Z1 🙄
Maybe someone who owes booties?
For really big guys, the XL PFD's don't do the job. I wish the industry would fully ratio up the flotation for 250 lbs and up. Make an industry agreement to spread the cost of a low volume product to price of the other sizes.
spent 40 seconds getting munched at horseshoe falls on the dee last november. Never fun.
Ouch, horseshoe can be very bad. Glad to know you got out.
What the heck is a BA ?
Buoyancy Aid
Trusty Kelly Macnaughton with the second throw line. Has there ever been a swimmer she has missed 🥶
I heard she can even throw herself a line when needed (but its rarely needed).
Rumour has it the man in the yellow Steeze took PEDs
Im afraid you're wrong, he is actually so skilled the ICF makes him take preformance dehancing drugs.
No way,@@murrayweir replied to my comment. #fan #thisismydream #doyouwantmetospellcheckforyou
What’s the takeaway here? Was the wrong size worn? Right size worked?
We think it was just an old BA (not that it was too small). Either way it didnt seem to provide a lot of floatation even though the kayaker was within the BA's weight range. Maybe the BA wasnt rated for boily white water? I guess the take away is wear a good BA while on white water.
Kinda looks like she got dropped in the seam line a bit at the start. Sometimes having too much flotation can get you in trouble, and you want to just get in the seam and get pumped away from the nadty water! Rafting we always put customers in huge life jackets, its easier to rescue them but its kinda harder for thrm to rescue themselves. They seem to get body recirculated a lot more.
Even a good PFD won't float well in white water because the aerate water doesn't provide resistance to the PFD to generate buoyancy. Encourage swimers to ballup with knees and arms into their chest when they are swimming towards frowny holes. They will sink down and flush out the bottom much quicker then getting recirculated on the middle/top layer of water. Either way looks like a solid swim ;) @@murrayweir
@@thelethalmoo Seconding this. She got dropped into the seam and sent her straight to the bottom and spit out underneath of the hole more than likely. That was a lot of down time, but I'd rather have that then get recirced in that hole.
There's a right handsome bunch, and one who got a proper nose job courtesy Dr. Stone. Great job on some really fun looking water! I hope everyone had a great time!
Thanks! Had a great time and Dr Stone’s scar has almost disappeared.
@@murrayweirGreat doctor That Dr. Stone. Worth every penny the NHS gives him. It had to have been a great time, broken nose or not. The levels looked perfect! Keep stoked, mate!
Garry seems pretty good at kayaking
He's very fun too
Are those custom colours on that red/blue peakps (uk) drysuit?
Not custom colours but I’m guessing they don’t do them anymore if you cant find it online.
Hey I would do it
The river Dee too
Yup! For some reason my club calls the trip “the tryweryn trip” when we go up to N wales and do any rivers.
When you say "beginners," do you literally mean people who never kayaked before? I guess I would not have the guts to do this. I kayaked a few times 20 years ago in lakes, the people in charge of the group called it "sea-kayaking" and towed us back to shore if we were too tired to get back on our own.
We took a bunch of people, some experienced and some people who had only kayaked in a pool once before + one river the day before. Your sea kayaking sounds much more responsible for the leaders. We were only doing this one section and had rescue set up so it was ok to send our beginners down this waterfall.
good lil joe's .... great to practice your rolls in :D
The orange boat is actually a Hoss, very similar to the Lil Joe. Our club does have a lil joe as well and I agree they are both great little boats!
Why when that guys kept getting stuck in the stopper he lifted the wrong edge
What time in the video are you referring to? At 0:47 in the graveyard, the red boat kayaker lifts the correct edge and changes the edge side to match direction. At 03:51 on the ski slope, the red boat kayaker also lifts the correct edge but cant paddle out. Upstream edge should be lifted up to allow water under the boat without catching the boats edge or rail.
how did the airbag come out? - I assume it wasn't fully inflated as if it was it would never have squeezed past the seat backband?
It was being used as a front air bag so it was just in front of the footrest. There must've been a big enough gap for it to squeeze past while the person was swimming.
A veritable surplusage of fumbduckery. Brilliantly done all.
Idiotic !;! Basta ,!;!
Who is 0:14-0:19?
Harry, i think the hand roll should give it away
Suggested title change: faff after faff.
“Major faff followed by many bits of faff” would also work 😅
Sick!

Goals are great, but binning is more fun 🙂
Finally! Someone who understands the true fun of polo 😅
I like it not going to lie
Thank you!
Assuming this is d grade
Prob not even that
U should see nz canoe polo culture it’s way harser
👍
This is a skill I didn't know existed. You're fucking rad!
Thank you!
Looks like a fun day on the water! Getting the feel for the boof stroke can be tricky, I bet the next time these guys go out they'll have a better grip on it.
Sick paddling
Cool
