can't imagine paddling this river with the roll that guy had at the put in. Unreal. Nice PFD Ira! Just don't go ANY further right on that left line next run!
Haha I'm sure nerves played a huge part in it! I believe (and hope) they did great the rest of the lap! Thanks for watching! :)
It's interesting how the first thing you learn in whitewater kayaking is how to do the roll. It's literally the first technical skill. Yet, most class III-IV boaters have terrible rolls in which they need at least two attempts to roll up.
It’s important to always work on your roll. The big thing is that as we get better we roll less which means we practice it less. It’s a great reminder to us all to always practice our rolls. -Tony
Fantastic, wow, I am on a rush. Thanks
You’re always welcome! We had a ton of fun making this one-Tony
It's amazing what a good run down a difficult rapid does for the confidence. The odd thing is just how thin the line can be between success and beatdown and the impact either of those affects the mind.
A bad line leads to a tough mental battle if you let it get to you honestly. -Tony
Unfortunately that was me missing my roll at the seal launch. Something about being on the eddy line and being above the first big rapid while already being nervous just had me panicking and trying to get my head up early. Definitely not my proudest moment, but I'm glad my beatering didn't psych anyone out too bad besides myself.
It happens to all of us! Glad you made it thru okay! Tallulah can be super intimidating for sure!
-Jer
It happens man, we’ve all been the guy at the bottom of the platform so to speak. Sometimes puking helps hahaha -Tony
Awesome video and great way to tell the story. Nerves are a huge part of it
Thank you! It was a new format that we were really excited to try. -Tony
again, great reference; honesty appreciated!
Thank you very much! We try our best to be transparent & not put out an image or video that we are perfect or that we don't face the problems that every kayaker faces when out on the river. -Ira
Great video! I LOVE how you compiled the videos. And great pfds yall!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Awesome video - I love the way you tell the story - there’s always so much more than the rapid itself- can’t wait for the next video
Thank you as always! I was really excited to get to see the finished product- Tony
Love watching your adventures form France ! Come paddle in the alps one day, it's great (Verdon Gorge, Ubaye...)
We’d love to! Thanks for watching! :)
-Jer
Definitely an experience I’ll never forget. One step at a time
Glad we can be there for you each step of the way-Tony
It's beautiful, it's sunny, and I think I'm ganna vomit. By far the best line.
Haha you know it is!
-Jer
The Head Game never goes away, its part of the package deal... Without the fear factor what's the point. So if you cant handle the fear factor you might as well stick to flat water paddling. just my opinion.
Fear is certainly part of the game. How we each deal with it & overcome it is unique to each person. Just like a muscle you have to "train" it -Ira
When did you get that pretty blue Zet Five Jer?
From ACE! It’s so pretty haha! Thanks for watching :)
-Jer
Jerry bro you got got to help Ira or whatever I'm confused about the characters do I really care??someone got to get the thousand yard stare from his eyes. It's one thing if he can't admit it. But I heard him admit all that already! No going back now. Bro he just gonna have to send it even harder. Your a legend he's a legend. Anyone who sends this Tallulah river is a legend
Who is the guy with the magnum pi shirt???
Of course I care
Always like to hear your comments & thanks for watching -Ira
Never ran the talluh. Bet that crap is hard. Your balls are set in stone. Damn that crap is easy. Lol.
Yes? No? Maybe so? -Tony
@@JerKayaks confused. Are we talking about running tall louie
Bro Sweetwater almost whooped our ass
And that one creek that feeds into chestatee almost had its way with us way out there in the woods
OK it definitely had its way with us. We had to carry the kayaks through some really nice folks yard
