- Kayaking waterfalls is one of the most feared, respected, and oddly underestimated feats you can do in whitewater kayaking. It blows my mind how many people step up to their first waterfalls with little more than a roll and some courage. The purpose of this video series is to get you started on the right track. (Please keep reading below)
In addition to the tips described in this video, I strongly recommend sticking to known waterfalls and checking out waterfalls without water before you consider running them with water. Kayaking first descent waterfalls is a skill that takes years of practice and tons of homework, so don't assume this is all inclusive information for making sure a waterfall is safe. Gradually practice on waterfalls before stepping up to bigger ones, and always be conservative when assessing your own skills. Never run waterfalls without proper equipment, safety, access, or practice and please huck responsibly!
This is an introduction to waterfalls.
That's the kind of content we need. Great job Boyd.
Can't wait for part 2 and 3.
Stoked you liked it and glad it helps! Thanks for watching!
This is great content. The science of a waterfall turned into thought provoking art!
glad you liked it! stoked to share 🤙🏻
Great explanation of formation of falls & safest landing points. Thanks
Awesome content. I would like to see more waterfalls explained by you. The drawings made it easier to understand. Different waterfalls, different levels,
I really enjoy watching your videos you have a way of teaching that resonates and really brings a level of comfort to what could be a scary thing thank you for your hard work on these see you on the water someday
I took your first waterfall class back in 2016. Learned a lot! Got behind the curtain at baby falls earlier this year. SUCKED! Blew my line and I knew it probably was not going to end well.
Great video! Very clearly explained
Great intro vid! Just what I needed to see! (With two low back surgeries already, this was good reminder that just because something went fine one day doesn’t mean it’s gonna go the same the next 😬). So while for me, the risk/reward equation doesn’t equate to long term enjoyment/participation in running falls, i still freaking love to watch and learn and will encourage others to check out this series!). Good job and thank you for putting in the work to create and share this series with us!
Thanks for that and thanks for watching! Let me know what you're looking to learn if you haven't already and I'll try to work it in... so many videos on the way
Great video with wonderful examples and explanations. I especially like the "micro-scale" examples because that gives me ideas for how to test myself on whether I know what I'm looking at in the future. Thanks!
I'm glad that part really helped!
thank you!
This is a world class vid. Cheers to you sir
Thanks for watching! 🤙🏻
Great video dude 🤙🏽
Awesome! Im in the video at 3:43 in the eddy with you at the bottom of my first ever waterfall run La Leona . Stoked on Send School.
hey man! good times!! I love that place
Good example with the little waterfall and rocks - helps define what you need to look for.
glad it helped! Micro features are so useful for learning and teaching, but get overlooked so often. Thanks for watching!
Very interesting and good information I appreciate your videos I find them very helpful
Thanks! Glad they helped!
Nicely done
Thanks for watching! Stoked they're helpful!
Not my thing, but more power to those that do! Enjoyed
Thanks for watching anyway! Glad you enjoyed it
Crazy south mineral got you!
😂 right?! 🤷🏻♂️ of all the drops… It’s the green landing and late, unfinished stomp that really got me, but it got me good
It's a fun drop.. I've seen some beater kayakers go off of that but they come out fine cuz they don't boof at all and just tuck lol
@@CleanLineKayaking any ways are you ever gonna come out with some freestyle videos?!
I’ve run it a bunch and never even considered it as a possibility until it happened. I laid around the campground a few days and ended up still doing a couple hike up Vallecito laps. I didn’t learn that I had broken it for sure until much later… it was brutal though. They had to help me out of the gorge that day. I could barely walk.. thought it was a worthy lesson to include 😂🤦🏻♂️
I’ve got lots more coming. Editing quality, well-organized videos just takes a lot of work and time and I essentially do it for free. I’ve got about 20 different videos already filmed and just need to finish editing. I was going to redo some of the audio for edging and holes, but may just leave it. All that to say, more are coming but I’ve been busy with paid projects.
The other thing I’m about to do is video coaching where people can pay for video analysis and virtual coaching to help their kayaking… I may set that up on something like patreon or I may do a subscription service here, but I couldn’t put that kind of time in for free… just isn’t enough of me to go around. What do you think would help people the most?
Well, sh*t. Sorry to hear that. Welcome to Colorado though. :)
