Inspirational ✨✨

Perfect conditions. Video published same day. Nicely done!

Eh, not that fast.

Where did you take out? I heard the takeout was closed due to vandalism of the staircase.

Incredible 🎉

Что за лодка?

Bruh

Bro how do you figure out how many Cfs?! 🧠

When we did the first paddle raft descent in the early 90's at 1500 Nut was the one that got our attention. It's pretty easy to sneak on the right, but man, a couple of those holes are spooky, especially when we didnt even have a kayaker to follow. After that, the rest wasn't so bad. I know teams of guides paddle raft it these days and it's damn fun way to tackle the beast. Like most first timers, we ran the bottom 5 first to make sure it was possible, and it was.

Add Benham and you got the Triple Crown of the Upper D. Great footage, good times! Love that run.

are you in a scorch x? great videos.

🌊🚣🙏

I was watching some vids on people kayaking a river in Texas called the Devils River and they would comment on the rapids and I kept thinking what? Those aren’t rapids haha. I’m not a kayaker but I’m an Oregonian and I smugly watched this video with pride cause THESE are rapids. 😂❤👍

Great video, going to have to make my way up their next July

The Icicle river in Washington state early in the year looks wild. Anybody familiar with the Icicle. Upstream from Leavenworth Wa.

Nice lines, man! Don’t think I saw you do a single brace that entire video.

We love the Kayak King 🙌

Great lines and edit, Andy! This run looks a little easier in a L Scorch than a S/M Indra. Hopefully I can get up there next summer.

Perfect level and lighting

Love that river!!! Has a nice hot spring to chill at as well if you know where to look

Dope Butcher’s Block line! That one’s tricky to nail. Glad R line at Elbow Room worked out, and I appreciate you sharing the details. You made it look good, though I’m sure that was spooky, esp since it was unintentional. That massive center sieve is no joke!

How is this less than 100 like?! Insane. Awesome video.

Great day!

I'm sure most of you will notice how terribly my line at Elbow Room went. After having decided to run the drop, as I was getting into my boat, I became unsure of my marker indicating where to enter the drop. I got back out of my boat and stood up to get a point of reference. I saw what I thought was the marker I had picked, calibrated, and started to get back in my boat. However, at river level, I mistook the marker that I had picked while scouting from above for another marker a couple feet to the right. As I headed toward the lip of the drop I realized I was off my line, but it was far too late to stop. I came off the drop WAAAAY further right than I should have been and directly next to a rock which blocked me from immediately trying to get back to the left. After passing the rock and making one quick attempt to head left that was rejected by a hole, I decided I wasn't going to make it and needed to start working on my contingency plan. I paddled as hard as I could to get as far right as possible within the right channel to avoid the siv. Fortunately, this plan worked and I made my way cleanly down the far right side of the right channel, maintaining enough distance from the siv. I'm very happy, and extremely lucky, to have made it through the drop without incident, but am also disappointed to have misjudged my line and to have put myself in such a risky situation. I like to think that I'm able to make sound and measured decisions while kayaking, but when I got to the bottom of the drop I no longer felt good about the choice I had made. Despite my confidence in being able to run the drop in the way it should be run, it turns out I was not okay with the consequences of a mistake, which is something I should have been, and need to be, able to determine before running the drop. This experience was extremely humbling and its memory will stick with me for a long time, which I'm ultimately grateful for. I think being mindful of this experience while kayaking in the future will help to more accurately balance my decisions and take stock of not only the risk associated with specific rapids, but the reality of those risks as well. Even if I feel 95% confident in my abilities, I need to have a clear and firm idea of the outcome should something go wrong, because 5% is a small number, but it's not 0%. I have included the footage of Elbow Room in the video. Although I think most know this, I want to make it clear that, although my line might look pretty clean if you haven't seen the rapid before, there is inherent danger in taking the right channel at Elbow Room and the drop should only be run through the left channel or portaged.

Coming into chaos can be pretty intimidating!!

Feel like im cheating on the river watching this, next april this river is on my list, so getting a look in isn't realy cheating is it?

Which river is this one? So beautiful

Kayak King, we’re not worthy!

sick sick sick

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Where is this place?

Nice run. thx for sharing. And thx for not killing the roar of the river with a random music sound track.

Never fun to see those death logs, risky to run that drop on the left, sweet line, that was epic man, mad skills

Wow thanks for sharing 😍❤👍

Wow amazing 😍❤

Great edit, Andy! I’m copying your approach at Euphoria. You set yourself up perfectly.
