After your friend emptied the boat, he could have easily set it ashore beside him where it could have waited for it's owner. No need to unnecessarily complicate the situation. Once the boat is drained and safely stowed ashore, your job is done.

😂

As someone who is interested in whitewater rafting i found this VERY helpful. Thank you for posting this.

Work on your back deck.. it’s worth every bit off effort and pays off exponentially

Damn man, now its gone. Bummer for sure.

we use a nalgene wide mouth for first aid kit and do the duct tape trick around the nalgene. Maybe a video on safe use of an axe is in your future!

Did you run this by yourself? Solo?

You did great...Alto Palguin is a Waterfall school :-)

Love your videos. Motivates me. Thanks.

Amazing insight to what this week looks like. I hope to be there on Dec 7!

I’m a Registered Guide in Maine and I tell my people that horizontal is what matters when swimming in whitewater. Aggressive self rescue; nobody loves you more than you! If you can’t make your way back to a boat quickly, then get in the Defensive Swimming position and keep your nose and toes up. I think you were fine swimming to the eddy. Preventing an entrapment is the main goal.

Thank you Ira, Jerry and Team Jer Kayak and the Portage Posse. You guys rock. KEEP KAYAKING.

LOVED hearing your story! What an amazing experience. So thankful that you had the opportunity to do this. The WHITE water was BEAUTIFUL and those waterfalls just gorgeous! Congrats on a successful trip! You've come a LONG way from those first trips down the beginners channel at the WWC!

Wild times! Thank you again to Pucon Kayak Retreat!

Fantastic, great job. ❤

That was absolutely awesome. That takes a lot of courage in physical strength. Overcoming such heights and depth s has to be tremendous for the mind body and soul Going over that last waterfall was amazing to watch. Just doing it is definitely showing great fortitude. I'd be thinking oh God just help me survive it! 😀 Great video. Great performance and also a great narrative by wonderful you. Super

I imagine this has to be insanely fun! Even as someone who doesn't care for heights.

First off love the story telling. Jerry, what do you use to shoot your long lens shots? I’m getting familiar with my GoPro but kinda interested in photo/video boating

Great story

Bump for the algo. 🫡

Awesome video! There is no rush to get to the crazy rivers.

Solid assessment. If you watch the locals. I’ve walked a bunch and watched all the legends that are way way way better than me walk because they’re not feeling it. Wait till there’s more water. 8-10” is solid for a first lap.

Neeeeaaaar faaaaar whereevaaaaa u aaaarrreeeee!!!!

I have had this exact day on the green many times. Lap after lap of saying todays the day and just feeling "off" or the pad not looking "perfect".. In reality my lines never went bad and I don't even know what perfect is for the pad... Its definitely important to not takes things so seriously and remember to just have fun. Took me so much to get into my boat when i finally ran gorilla. Once I got in I have never been so locked in on anything in my life. Pure bliss. Self assessment will yield long careers

What an important message! Thanks for sharing your experience! Kayaking isn't always physically challenging, but also psychically challenging.

Sometimes you just aren"t feeling it!

Great video and nice subject. I'll add you have progressed rapidly since I met you a few years ago. Enjoy every moment and remember to smile!

Good info, thanks

Seems like this video has been quite a cathartic process for you which is definitely helpful! Good on ya! Lines looked alright but the head game is always more important

I have 2 thoughts about this. (None are critical of you at all btw) Some of the best lines I've had on big rapids are those days where I'm feeling like the boat is paddling me. Your body knows what to do. Trust in your lizard brain...it knows what to do. 2ndly as I have gotten older (I'm 49) I have realised I dont care how bad I'm looking each day. The people that boat with me know im good in the rapids and they will razz me mercilessly when I'm looking like a beater...and that's good cos it stops me from being too critical and makes me laugh at myself over those mishaps.

Yeah man, agreed

Self assessment is always good, until it starts to get past that and into our head. Work in progress every day, friend. Appreciate you bringing in the conversation 🫶🏼 grateful to have you around

great video man!!

I met you recently at the Whitewater Center. You seen my first successfull roll and saved my fiance when she rolled xD We gotta catch some actual rivers together one day Jerry!

Thanks for the awesome shout outs Ira, Jerry and Jer Kayak and the Portage Posse. You guys are truly helping the retreat get the word out about how great Chile kayaking trips are. KEEP KAYAKING.

Amazing whitewater, beautiful mountains, trip of a lifetime & a volcano! What more could you ask for? So glad you were given this opportunity! Big thank you to those who made it possible!

Very very impressive!! Great job and also excellent narrative by you. You're good 😊❤️

Love the doggie ❤

Fantastic job, love the wheelie ❤

Wouldn’t trade this experience for anything. Was a great chance to do something I never thought I would.

Is this normal flow level? That Double Reactionary Rapid looked like fun.

Swapping shoulders without stopping while hiking makes portaging so much easier

This kid might have a future….

We miss your videos. ❤

She did great. Thank you for sharing your adventure it sounds wonderful and so glad your husband got to be with you also.

I dont want to be an armchair critic so lets start with this. Dont beat yourself up over small failures. EVERYONE is between swims. Silly mistakes resulting in swims are the ones that go 1 of 2 ways. Either you laugh at yourself and say sh#t happens or it really effects you mentally. Stay in the fight and keep trying. The only things I can see you are doing "wrong" is you are rushing your roll so your technique is falling apart. Slow it down. Once you are underwater and set up for that roll take a beat count to 3 then do a solid roll. If you rush it 9 times out of 10 you will have to try that roll again. Also...(and I know this is hard but)...always have a 2nd attempt at that roll. Learn from every mistake. Learn from every swim. And keep pushing yourself. I have watched your other videos and I see vast improvement in you Ashley. Every beginner I have ever taught has gone through these battles so you arent alone. Keep at it. I have faith in you.

Glad you had fun.

glad to have yr stickers on my helmet

El reloj is beefy. Especially if you aren’t used to big water. Nice run down it

Another strap trick alternative I learned recently is to daisy chain both straps together. Put both straps parallel to each other and start daisy chaining. This way they will always be in pairs the way we use them. No searching for two 15 foot straps individually. Just another option. I still roll mine for space reasons. Love the hot dog one btw. Nasty water though, LOL!
