Last month I completed a 3 week adventure on the Colorado River, from Marble Canyon to Lake Mead. Prior to the trip my boat-mate told me about a standing wave him and some friends were riding with kayaks and sleeping pads and said I should definitely bring my mat. So I did. And here is some footage to prove it.
River water dynamics are a world unto themselves. The feeling of being sucked through the pour over & bashed about by the frothing, churning whitewater is unique to say the least. Like nothing I've ever experienced!
Fatastic footage, Sean...looks like a blast! Thanks for posting it. :)
ReplyDeleteRAD!
ReplyDeleteYou can really see the mat accelerate with its minimal flat wake. Cool.
ReplyDeleteHa ha!! It's like a treadmill for matters!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness that looks fun! I've got to try it some day. That seems like a situation where you could really test out a quiver, and get familiar with some of the subtleties of the various mats, since the river provides such a steady waveform.
ReplyDeleteGrrrrrrrrrrrreat!!!
ReplyDeleteHold on to your mat though!
