Kayaking down a huge flooded River Dart!

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ม.ค. 2025
  • Luck was on our side as we arrived in the UK and the weather pattern aligned for the highest lap down the River Dart I have ever done! Fair play to David for getting on and crushing the lines out there for his first ever Upper Dart lap.
    Comment below on how you think that kayak got broken and if you guess right I will give you early access to the next Uk Kayaking edit

    We went down to the Futaleufu this past year to take a clinic with Aniol and David was his right hand man. Super strong paddler, always super positive and encouraging, hilarious to just hang out with and swap stories. Dude can catch fish while white water kayaking like it’s his damn job!!!

    Good day man I recently saw a video you made on how to transport a kayak on a plane.
    I recently moved to Siberian Russia from California, I do a lot of fishing out here and I bought an inflatable kayak.
    Please consider answering if you can!
    Question: Is it legal to take an inflatable kayak as checked baggage ? I saw in that video you had a large bag on top of your kayak, I know there's tons of information online I just want to know if you've done it or know someone how's transported an inflatable on an airplane.
    The kayak shouldn't be more than 60 pounds in a bag

    Wow those bolts under the logo are nearly all the way back to the backrest. I see an obvious crease, a larger fold, some flattening, a rectangular impression, and two very distinct scratches. Unlike other commenters, I can pretty much guarantee this did not happen on the water because a sponsored Pyranha boater wouldn’t be posting this or smiling because the boater would surely be in the hospital.
