  • The highwater has arrived! New feature forms, new lines show up - it's getting rowdy.
    Epic times with an all time crew out here.

    This is by far the some of the biggest white water kayaking I’ve ever seen submitted. This is a 🔥video! By far that’s no joke the water there running. Life and death runs and glad you made it out good. As an ex kayaker now disabled this gave me the rush. Cheers from California!

    If it's that big on camera, it's must be unreal in person. Great video

      definitely a few times where you do feel pretty small heading towards some of these waves or holes 😂

      Just ask Sam bradford on his 40 second downtime at rapid 9. One doesnt want a downtime like that especially on that rapid.

    THAT WAS INSANE!!! I did not even know paddling (and surviving!) water THAT BIG was possible!!! Unbelievable rush!!! Shew! It just seems to me that could become a keeper any time it wanted to! Thanks so much for sharing...GOOSEBUMPS!

    Centre line? No line from where I was looking - that was carnage. Big props to all the paddlers.

    I am sitting on my chair at home watching this video see these big and powerful waves with these tiny freaking good kayakers and just think: "Wow that just looks so good and must be so fun" but on the other hand I realise that it must be so dangerous and I'll never be at that point were I say yes I can make this. That makes me so sad but happy at the same time its such a weird feeling I can't describe it. Its like a rolercoaster.
    Enjoy your time there.

    What you are doing is remarkable and should inspire the next of paddlers to take this to the next level. God only knows what that might look like though.
    It's almost 20 years since I paddled there at a much lower and friendly level with lines and hydrolics that were consistent, stable and predictable.
    I found that more than enough even after a week of repeated runs and familiarity.
    This approach and style is beyond anything I've ever imagined possible.
