Extreme Kayaking "Close Calls" Nantahala River
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- This is the Fall high-volume water release of Lake Nantahala on the Nantahala River outside of the smoky Mountain national Park in western North Carolina. Hundreds of kayakers come from around the country for this 2 day event. Out of those a handful Challenge the upper Cascades and what is Extreme by any comparable North American river system. These are a few short moments with the river getting the upper hand.
"There is no fighting the power of the water."
I've never seen this part of the Nantahala. Granted, I haven't been back there since 1987 but rivers last a lot longer than us and don't change that much in our lifetimes. This must be before where we used to put in by Patton's Run. Looks like fun if you have the paddling skills to make it. I wouldn't gamble my life on it, though.
No... this is the cascades..
I think I will just stick the run from Pattons to the Lesser Wesser
Seems like you could just go swimming and save money on gear.
Defo a lack of serious whitewater experience evident throughout here.
Some of these are so hard to watch. The cascades are so shallow lol
did anyone get bloody or broken? would love to see little interviews with the folks when they got back to their cars safely.
Who might have the whole video of the canoeist at ~2:00? That would be Burton Greer
Who's that? Never heard of him 😂
Hello, I am contacting you from Back2Back productions, I was wondering if you had seen our below messages about including your video into our show. Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks, Kate
I'd like some kayak with jam please
Ikr lmbo 😂
Where is this section compared to the Nantahala Outdoor Center?
This is part of whats called The Cascades or the Upper Nantahala. As the name implies, its upstream of the NOC. I dont have more detail then that as ive only been there twice just to watch the release. But it is upstream of the Outpost
THis is why I paddle class 2 and some occasional 3s. I don't need these kinds of experiences.
Maybe if you took the time and effort to get skilled before tackling hard rapids you wouldnt look like a fool.
You need to rethink what you are doing.
Hi there,
Just wondering if you had seen the below message with regards to us including your video in our show. It would be great to discuss further please do let us know if you are interested. Thanks, Stunt Science Team
No fucking way!
Rookies? A kayaker never let his paddle away.
Have you paddled cascades?
Sometimes it gets ripped out of your hand…
@@Michael65429ww first lesson is never loose your paddle.
@@88szisz You must not be a paddler. Shit happens quickly and sometimes you ditch the paddle to preserve your life. Also, there's a great paddling community here and the paddles were probably retrieved shortly downstream.
And the first rule of whitewater kayaking is "DON'T TURN OVER"!
@@Michael65429 Yes, as we say upright is allllright. And I'd like to add, DON'T DIE, ditch the paddle if you have to. Cheers.
Go back to flat water, jeeeeeez
