Just thought I’d share this as it’s such a beautifully shot piece of film. The narration borders on the slightly pretentious side for me but meh…. Stunning nonetheless.

Spectacular. Why do they chuck their paddles away? To avoid injury I suppose.

Yeah when you hit the base of massive falls like that, there is a tendency for your paddles to be rammed into your face.
Quite often they are bought alongside the boat but even then they can wrench your arms about, and so I guess it’s easier to just completely chuck them away and hand-roll back up.

I can’t hand-roll, and have never done a fall so big so I wouldn’t know.. 😯

Thanks for sharing

Awesome

It’s all a bit colonial.

Yup very nicely shot. Do they get the paddles back? Otherwise it’s just littering. 😉

Nice…but mental.

crikey. 🙂

great until the credits shot, “we are MEN doing MANLY things, grrr!”

Very nice. Got any more kayaking films to recommend? They’re a pleasant change of pace from mtb movies!

That is beautifully shot and very well edited.
