- It felt good to pull this one off a while back. While RVs were floating down the french broad and water was in abundance in WNC I hurried up to Looking Glass for a quick scout and what I found was a 60" waterfall with ALOT of flow. This was the fifth descent Looking Glass and one of my proudest moments in kayaking. Enjoy!
Holy shit. I live near here and would never have guessed anyone would hit that.
Nathan Patterson it’s not really somthing people kayak normally I was the 5th descent.
What?! No Batman cape?! Seriously though, nicely done. Best line possible off that monster 👹

Man that was savage!!!!
Coolest footage I’ve seen all year!
Nice line! You're killing it, love the videos!
Whaaaaat?!? Didn’t even know that shit was runnable! It’s definitely pumping!!!
Ultra Visitor yea it has to be really high for it to be runnable
Badassery. Well Done 👍
You are a beast my friend!
Beast mode in our backyard!!!!!
Can't even do this anymore since Fred, way to get it in and go down in history!
What did Fred change here? Just curious.
@@justin_other_kayaker there was a giant log jam near the top of the falls. Basically just waiting for it to break & go downstream. At least that was the case. Not sure it still is.
Awesome!!
AWESOME job bro 👍👍🤘🤘
I have the Batman helmet the person wore when they ran it back in the late 80’s. He compressed a few vertebrae.
L-town Boy dang that’s cool
DAMN
drove past this a few weeks ago. runnin it one day
Sick Mike!
hey is that the new prototype?
WHATS that new boat!!!!!!!
This is nuts. I live about 15 min from looking glass falls and it’s fenced off and people don’t kayak it for a reason. when it’s flowing normally their are jagged rocks at the bottom…I’ve swam up to the bottom of the falls and felt lots of hidden rocks below too that stick up. I know you took it on flooded but still…u got extremely lucky man ain’t gonna lie. Thrill seeking is fun I get it but only takes one time to go wrong. Plus We’ve had lots of deaths in the “land of waterfalls” from daredevils thinking they are invincible specially in areas that are specifically blocked off. A lot of waterfalls we use to be able to go up to and enjoy are now fenced and blocked off because of those people. yeah, I sound like a buzz kill on your channel cuz you’re looking for glory and cheers but the locals are tired of our areas getting blocked because of adrenaline junkies. Looking glass has already had deaths so they blocked off the top of it and it says not to go up there. So please stay off the areas they have warned about and fenced off out of respect for the area and the people who enjoy it also not just yourself. And you wanna brush death do it where it’s allowed and the consequences are only on you 🙄
Free country. It’s completely legal and within my skills as a kayaker to paddle the drop.
Sick
Damn dude.
Damn son
your insane. not because the height of the waterfall, but water flow speed / level.
Looks fun but i think i would of died
Lmaooooo looks like it feels awsome tho
Sick. Where ya been...? Been quiet here.
Dave Packie I’ve been paddling a lot!
What's it feel like, having that much water pound down on you? Looks like NC is possibly the best state for WW - would you say so?
chesky baba NC is one of the best places in the USA for kayaking for sure! I
Are you paddling for liquid logic now? Not Pyranha?
