      Is that guy even still around? I remember seeing videos of him running the Cascades few years ago. Hell he was arguing with me about how learning to roll was stupid and a waste of time 😂. 'Why learn to roll when you can use the hi-n-dri?' 😬

    My favorite move is hitting the last eddy of the watauga move, hard and fast in the flow and try to land hi in the eddy, kind of boof the hole into the eddy and be on a right brace into a bow draw, into the hole and rocket out of the hole🤩kind of in 1-2 moves. Great video buddy!

    Why do most people only use the old school half slices?

    • @WadeHarrison
      @WadeHarrison  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have no idea buddy my guess is they don’t have the funds to get a newer one and that’s all they have or that they like old nostalgic feel and think it looks cool to paddle like crap and be unsafe
      half slice boats have gotten so much better my advice to anyone is upgrade

      A few have but there’s always park service standing right there and it’s like a big fine for doing it and it’s very sharp and jagged so probably destroy your kayak and get fined or arrested so just asking for it but yes I know it’s been ran before
