    Ahh, Oblivion, the one that took my manhood. Too bad the sound is muted, the roar of oncoming rapids is something to behold. Excellent video, brought back some unwanted memories I thought I locked down forever.

      Yeah Oblivion is huuuuge! Sound isn't even muted, GoPro just sucks at giving sound how it actually is. It truly is a deafening roar!

    I am in awe of the synchronicity of this team, when the man says "RIGHT" everyone instantly paddles right. And doing this rafting probably on a near weekly basis, I bet this river has zero secrets for the guide. Very well done!

    When was the actual date of raft trip?

  • @kenaipeninsulawhitewater5650

    You forget how much better newer gopros are with their stabilization until you see a video filmed on an old one

    • @kayaker09
      @kayaker09  Před 3 lety

      I couldn't believe how smooth the Hero8's footage was when I took it out mountain biking. It really is amazing how far it's come. Pretty sure I shot this with the Hero4.

    • @TheDazzler420
      @TheDazzler420 Před 3 lety +1

      But the old ones captured the full extent of ferocity of rapids and currents. New ones are like motor sport cameras, everything looks dull

    • @danhagen8502
      @danhagen8502 Před 2 lety

      @@TheDazzler420 True, the rattle from the old ones does have an intensity to it. I used a Hero3 on the Gauley a while ago and then came back with the 7 and its stabilization.

    I'll stick to rafting in Colorado where there's nothing in the river waiting to eat you.🐊

    • @kayaker09
      @kayaker09  Před 2 lety

      Not gonna lie, made for extra motivation when we flipped to get back to the boat!

  • @thethrillrunner5614
    @thethrillrunner5614 Před 2 lety +1

    Wow that was awesome. I dont know if I get to do that but it looks intense. How many level 5 rapids are there?

    • @kayaker09
      @kayaker09  Před 2 lety

      Depends on water level, and which section you run. Definitely several no matter what and they're BIG!

    And that's why I'm NEVER going to do white water rafting. It's fun to watch the videos, though. I'll stick to flat water.

    • @kayaker09
      @kayaker09  Před 2 lety +1

      Fair enough, though I will say that you're missing out. I wouldn't make this river the first rafting experience of your life, but there are a lot of Class II-III rivers that are beautiful, fun, and a whole lot less intense than this :)
