This is just me riding my bike, hiking, and whitewater kayaking. Not that anyone else will ever want to watch this and if you do you probably shouldn't. I'm not particularly interesting or anything.

Getting Destroyed Kayaking the Chattahoochee section 3 at 6.8 feet

My wife Tracey, friend Charlie, and myself bite off more than we can chew. Well, Charlie was able to make it all the way and even saved our boats! He's our hero! We thought the river was at 4 or 4.5 but it turns out the river had started to surge gotten to 6.8 feet by the time we got on. Next time we will exercise better judgement for sure!

Fuck that mess. I like nice slow water to stand and fish . That type of kayaking is not for me no more. Too worried about getting hurt and not being able to work
Anyone who disses the bike is just basically a weekend biker who just wants to be seen. This is a bike for all year round, every day biking. Torquey engine and seemless gear changes. Great comfort and well balanced chassis. Good engine note. Loads of storage. Not a scooter. What's not to like? Brilliantly engineered bike that you can ride all day, every day.
That was stupid
Probably, but we learned a lot from it, so I guess there is that.
fck mate. Next time care more and be way more prepared. do not fuck with the elements.
If you are falling in , you should not have been there .
False lol
@@toekneegreen37 I kayaked for ten years .. I would not have fallen in because I would not have gotten in . I know it's just a misjudgement. But it could have cost you your life it you got wedged under the trees .
So why is this fun again?
It is so fun! Not this day so much, but every other day totally is a blast.
@@toekneegreen37 Thank you for sharing your experience, I'm an outdoors men due to my family upbring, but oblivious to rafting.
'im nervous and excited' Peter Griffin 2023
Lol
Beastmode through the fear. This guy is a G
Thanks man!
Carry A zoleo, or similar device.. I pay for it monthly but use it a couple times a year. Still worth it, will never be stranded in vein. Hard lesson, but now you can teach.
That's what I was thinking. I have a Spot device for hiking, never thought to bring it kayaking.
How not to be.
Terrified? Appalled? Destroyed? All true!
Literally can't swim and has the grip strength of a greased rag but yeah let's throw you in a kayak in some red bull rapids.
HELLO, I SAW YOUR VIDEO AND I WAS DISTURBED BY IT, I HAVE EXPERIENCED A SIMILAR ACTION IN THE SINALOA RIVER, MEXICO, IT IS A VERY PLEASANT EXPERIENCE. GREETINGS.
Yes this one was less than pleasant. Thankfully they aren't so like this.
I was a trainee raft guide in Haiming, Austria 1996. We were encouraged to witness as many bad situations as possible. Our instructors would purposefully get us stuck in waves, take our paddles. Take our flip lines. One time i witnessed my friend Andrew get sucked into a hole and he didn’t resurface. I’ll never forget that feeling of seeing him go and because of the river flow we were getting further and further away from him. You feel utterly useless so i REALLY felt for you when you were on that island. *Andrew resurfaced 45seconds later 😅
They put raft through the ringer! Best to be prepared for anything though.
Its now September 2024 and would like to know if you still have the NC DCT and how you like it now. I own the 2024 version. Love it.
Still got it, commute to work nearly everyday on it. Absolutely love it! Best bike ever!
Fair play for posting this. Hopefully it will help educate future paddlers
Absolutely
Looks awesome and scary. Glad you guys are okay
Thanks, we are too!
Thanks for posting this very well may save somebodies life. You handled the comments with grace too. God bless.
Thank you, glad we all made it out ok.
Damn that was dangerous. Those bushes to the side can be very dangerous in flowing water. Cam get trapped.
Back then we didn't realize just how much danger we were in either.
@@toekneegreen37 glad you made it safely!
So much I want to say about this and all the mistakes that were made but I hope you learned valuable lessons from the experience and have since learned not just how to paddle better but how to read water levels and gaining beta to have a better idea if you think it’s something you can do or not
So much was learned this day.
Y'all should have done Section 4.
Have never done section 2 or 4. Probably never will.
Yeah this video made me not miss white water paddling!
It is rarely like this!
glad your safe but damn i gotta admit i laughted so fcking hard when u flipped over in the water it transitioned so smoothly into a add 😂
Huh?
Wow
Indeed
Damn, I just bought my first kayak and I happened to watch videos of kayak accidents
It isn't always like this lol. This is what happens when you make poor choices.
As a new kayaker (1 year) I'd never kayak on a river without an experienced rescuer, even a grade 2. I'm happy to kayak on flat water alone but I can roll and accept the possibility some random badness could happen. Even on flat water you can try to roll a couple of times and get a mouthful of water and it's not pleasant and certainly an eyeopener when you have to pull the deck. Glad you're okay!
Even having a perfect flatwater roll won't mean you'll be able to do it in rough water. But you are totally right. Really shouldn't have gone out that day.
bro get yourself a high brace and lean into it next time and not away, your hips are also super tense gotta be loose
Loose hips save ships!
Lads I suggest you get more experience before paddling waters as fast as those. Ngl your lucky it didn't turn out a disaster. Glad your all ok 👍🏻
Thanks
When u asked in the ending"I don't know what to do?!" I say go have some more fun if you catch the kayak of the other guy. Irresponsible adrenaline rush before anyone?
What?
Total carnage there, but boats and paddles can be replaced, not lives. Good to know everyone came out ok, but know the river in all levels and what's safe and what's not.....
Good advice
Isnt there deadly wildlife in there? Not to mention cant see in the waters at all
No deadly wildlife
This looks nothing less than a movie. I just ordered a kayak and never done it before. I'm going to have to be careful. Should i refund the kayak guys?
Heck no, just don't be stupid! Really kayaking is so fun!
wow. im a long time paddler from northern california love the honest video. glad you all made it. homie get your ass on some flat water and learn to control your egdes, like for example paddle fast set an egde( start a turn) , get your paddle vertical on the inside of the turn use your opposite or outside knee to tune the angle and paddle in circles holding your turn by using your edge. do this both wAYS then in reverse until you can do it all day . its basic but you will gain the control to help catch all those eddies you missed. please dont take this to be judgy i used to charge the shit out of rivers with no technique and i mean that. you either back up and pay your dues or just keep pushing your luck.. for me a class in durango on slalom changed everything , i went from class 3 paddler charging class5 to a reasonably good boater over a few years.just step back, lay the groundwork then get out there and run it! truly not judging just what i would say to a friend and i consider all who love the river a friend. peace like a river homie.
Thank you very much!
bro said hang on, let me paddle you to certain death...sheesh
Never go on flooded 😒 waters
Never say never! :) but really, you aren't wrong.
Stupid!!!!
Hay cocodrilos en esas aguas?
No crocodiles thankfully :)
Honestly I wouldn't take women on adventure like this there just not built for it to weak and have no situational awareness at all for situations like this makes things dangerous. Get made if you want to and hide behind some bs sexist logic if you want it's just facts
Also fact: you are a moron.
Dude in the red boat saved the day
Heck yeah he did!
New to your video but I am not sure if you were trail breaking. Didn't look like it. Just curious. Oh , and by the way I own a 2024 NC 750 DCT.
Trail breaking can be hard to see. How you liking the NC 750?
looks cold
The water is dam released and always cold!
@@toekneegreen37 yeah man I froze my ass of during guide school at the nanny
Assurdo pensare di divertirsi senza esperienza
Probably
Sh*t bru .. this is so bad🙈 New kayak, new deck, new paddle. Being lead by a sit ontop, gf tailing and no guide sweeping or leading on a flooded river .. I suggest you go for multiple white water river courses, especially swift water resque if you plan on continuing your new found hobby .. You should at the very least be able to hit an eddy ... with that skill alone you could have cut Tracy's swim in half. This is not the sort of sport you take your girl on if you cant look after her ..
Damn scary video. Don’t do that anymore.
the water itself looks like sewage. It's screaming No. Are you blind as well as dumb?
That was nail biting
That it was!
I been on that river swong off rope swings on the island over Cochran Schulz
Sweet, we have a couple rope swings up in the mountains here.
where is your rope, dude?
No rope at the time. Just out of curiosity, when would I have thrown it?
I believe there are really dumb people out there but you guys take the cake !
I love cake!
"I don't know what to do" wow! not the words you want to hear from someone you do adventures with, wow!
Oh good lord...really?
"please don't be dead" ha, don't worry about it you dunderhead, go get that boat.
"Please be dead?" That doesn't seem right.
