    I am just starting my adventure with kayaking, beggining from opening a small kayak rental office in Poland, nearby Warsaw on Jeziorka river. Nevertheless, I would really like to take such kind of a trip to be in my portfolio as well. I am sure I will take kayak adventure through Colorado River, starting from Grand Junction in Colorado and finishing in Las Vegas. Anybody wants to join? By the way, I would not be a Pole if I would not mention Aleksander Doba who swam Atlantic Ocean in his kayak. Do you know him already?

    @markmecikalski4947 5 лет назад

    Beautiful video, really grabbed me. It told a story..showed you getting ready and getting into kayak, then the beautiful calm side canyon, then wild rapids and success. Camera placement wonderful. The music seemed incongruous...what does a New York boy have to do with the Grand Canyon?...but it works fabulously..rather calm music juxaposed with the roiling water in the video was great contrast, and also including the paddling sounds underneath the music..I'm not an artist or a critic and I've only paddled a little, but I think there is something really good here.

  • @sorsorscience0787
    @sorsorscience0787 5 лет назад

    Incredible skills. I am wanting to get into this and learn how to kayak as well as you do. Hopefully I have a chance in my life to do this sometime. I would be terrified of my GoPro falling off the back without my noticing!

  • @todddaugherty110
    @todddaugherty110 5 лет назад

    Hmmm? Totally unsupported? A raft trip could take say 14 days at the least. Granted, yaks can go a lot faster. So let's say you did it in 10. So you carried shelter, sleeping gear, cooking gear, fuel, water filtration, first aid, clothes, 10 days worth of food, and all manner of miscellaneous gear in that yak? Hard to believe the Park Service grants permits for that, especially as far up the ass the Lee's Ferry Rangers go.
