Whitewater Kayak Paddle
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 😂
absolutely.....this is a joke compared to being in there....
It’s like when u go skiing and see a black diamond sign for advance level, the is a triple black diamond, insanity
Just ask Sam bradford on his 40 second downtime at rapid 9. One doesnt want a downtime like that especially on that rapid.
Traumhaft ihr seid die Besten
Can’t even contain the thrill of just watching this. I was hooting and hollering from my couch like I was there in person
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!
Very Dangerous Sport
R.I.P Legend 🕊
Many years ago I was very involved with rafting and kayaking, this video just sparked that passion again. I going back to the river!!!
this is one of the most aesthetic yet THE most insane whitewater kayaking video I've ever seen, you guys killed it 😮😮
Centre line? No line from where I was looking - that was carnage. Big props to all the paddlers.
Oh garsh... seriously
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.
Ya'll are nucking futs. Awesome run! 👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Wow what an insane ride , amazing , thank yiu for sharing . That was incredibly brave and crazy 😱😯😊🌊
Wonderful to watch .
Absolutely unbelievable ! It’s incredible how talented you are !
It is probably the best kayaking thing I have ever seen. It looks like so much fun, that at the place where I had the most traumatizing day of my life. Remember these guys are professionals.
What happened?
Not surprising they are the best kayakers in the world.
Absolutely epic. That last big drop was insane. Stay safe guys.
There are always people who take things to a next level! Well done! I am impressed.
Unbelievable how your're playing with the waves. Thank you for taking us with you. Greatings from Germany 🙂
Cheers for watching mate!
That is one giant crazy hole, and heading straight into it, top notch skills
That is absolutely hard core!! Huge skills and huge balls.
I love kayaking, but this is not for the casual kayaker, well done gentlemen , my hats off to you
What a wild, insane river! Absolutely love kayaking, and the Zambezi appears to be the “Mecca” of kayak destinations.
Exactly mate, like the North Shore of kayaking
That's the most amazing footage I've seen. Choosing those narly lines takes big ones.
That camera work is epic! 👌🏼🔥
The kayaking’s not bad either 😉
I reconize N° 9. I accidentaly drop in in raphting with my wife and my dauther 12 and 14 y, 10 years ago.

Unreal! Huge!
You guys are totally insane, but the camera work is sick!!!
Amazing boys.
Fuck yeah! That was amazing! I am more impressed by the rapid dive than the big waterfall jump.
Those rapids are insane
Looking like Nepal right after the Monsoon. GREAT VIDEO & EVEN BETTER PADDLING! GOOD ON YA LADS!
Thanks for watchinng man!
Just. Awesome.
Wow, just wow. I'm terrified and super curious all at the same time...so how thrashy is it in there for the 6-10 seconds you're under that enormous hydraulic?
insane!
Sick video boys!
I went down the Zambezi during the highest floods they'd had for decades. A fantastic experience. Capsized and almost drowned a few times, but it was amazing, especially on the Stairway to Heaven. 🙂🛶
That was crazy sh*t
Cracking video 👏👍
I am soooooo jealous.
I love that river.
You can keep the centre line in #9 though.
No thanks!
The Zambezi…?….are you effin kidding me
Letz gØ
That's incredible. Ive done a couple things but holy shit!
Awesome video!
I understand the crocodiles stay away from the rapids. I guess the trick is when the rapids end then get out of the water.
Great video That look so fun but yet i know it hard to be at that level
Literally speechless 😶
Immer wieder mega anzuschauen, aber fahren würde ich es nicht 🙈 tolles Video und viele Grüße ronactive
That’s bad ass …. Proper respect
Nice, I;ve rafted it a few times (and canoed the upper, amongst the crocs and hippos, scary shit). Always a challenge and always puts the butterflys in your stomach in the morning before you start. Come out at the top of 7, and you will gullivers travel that one the length, not fun! But great memories.
Oh yeah and jumped off the bridge too...
Such sick edits. Just wish they were like another 30 minutes longer haha
Dude nailed the chunder so deep in the playboat, sendingest shit I've ever seen!
Very, very badass.
Amazing!
outrageous guys,never seen anything like it.
Merci vous êtes fantastiques.
Kick-ass!
Unreal 😮
Those dudes are NUTS!!
legends
Instant sub
This straight up looks like death. You insane daredevil.
🔥🔥sick!!
Good Lord...
that's big shoots
And big nuts
