- In this episode I explore the slot canyons at Lake Powell along with a group of riders from Up Lake Adventures for our annual Winter Solstice ride. Last year we did an overnight camping trip on the lake in freezing conditions! Check out that episode here: • Jet Ski Camping on FRO...

Glad Lake Powell is still open, thanks for sharing the fun
It sure is
What a stunning location. Looking at the scenery took me back to being a kid in the '70s watching westerns on the telly :)
It’s really a magic place!
You're a lucky man mate,but as they say,you make your own luck so it's well deserved.@@AdamSwords
Another awesome adventure for you and your Explorer Pro 170! Ride safe, ride smart, ride often!

Another grand adventure! Thanks for sharing Adam!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice ride our darmy. Tight as Michael's winklepickers .xx
amazing shots.. can't wait to see ya do more this year.. cheers.
Thanks!!
WOW! Adam what a ride, what beauty. Just Amaaazing. I did it long time ago. We went to 'that arch' in '93! It was with those speed boats they used to rent by Page AZ. It was in May, we water-skied!! Sending you all the best mate from the middle of the South Pacific, where we live (French Polynesia) Cheers and thanks for sharing. Take care, be safe.
Adam....love your videos. You do such a great job with the editing too. Quick question: What is the brand of your life jacket? Thanks brother.
It’s a mustang survival MRV150. Thanks for watching!
Really enjoyed this. Love the gloves too.
What a trip Adam, it looking like your 2024, adventurers are going to be just great as your 2023. The fun you can have on a Sea-doo. Be it the sea, lake or river.
Cheers!
Another well crafted video and truly stunning scenery. Extremely jealous - but in a good way! I hope you have a ripper 2024 .
Thanks mate, you too!
Wow! I live just down the canyon.. beautiful ride in the narrows, it looked like you were flying..makes me want to take my seadoo there..
You should!
Awesome video , awesome scenery
Another great one Adam. How come you haven’t gone to Catalina in a while?
Great stuff.😎💯✌️
Awsome Adam, because of your videos I’m about to buy my first ski👍
Epic! A SeaDoo I hope?
Just think. Tens of thousands of years ago there was no water there. Imagine how high those canyons were. Imagine what it was like during the dinosaurs.
Exactly!!!!
Love to go back millions of years and see the river cutting into that canyon from the top. Does any one know where you might fit a flux capacitor into a Seadoo😂
The new watch will be handy when they find your body. Will tell them where you have been 😂
Yup!
Loving the content Adam. Thanks for the entertainment
Outstanding scenery everywhere especially the very narrow canyons and knowing there is little steerage when a jet ski has little forward speed makes it a little scary. You’re gonna have to design a rig so Diesel Dog can go on these trips with you.. Think he would love it. Such a great place to ride your floating food station/ fish finder/ camp gear holder etc all in one fast craft is great PS great sun glasses
He comes on the ski now! He just sits in the foot well. But not on an all day trip like this one.
@@AdamSwords Ahh ok. Pity he couldn’t go on your camping trips as we know how much he loves being with you in different areas
Seeing these videos reminds me in the 90s early 2000s riding on my uncle jet ski. I always like the 90s style of jet ski with the wild colors they used to paint them. Me personally I don't own jet ski can't afford one right now. I always do alot kayaking. If you ever travel to Michigan their many great lakes river to jet ski / Kayak. I live next a river called Grand River which good one if like calm rivers. Maybe you should try get Producer Michael to go jet skiing.. jk
Coming from the peak district I can honestly say it looks nothing like here Adam 🤷😂😂. I understand the low cloud part though haha
Haha. You had to be there
Great video👌
Thanks 👍
i love your video ❤❤❤❤
very good stuff !!!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a suprise on a saterday... will watch tonight on my way home...
New upload schedule! Means I get my weekends to enjoy!
Great, wouldve been my choice....
Amazing, so flat and calm in those canyons. Every time we go out, its flat dead calm on the sea in the morning, then the afternoon trip back is usually rough as guts in Bay of islands NZ. As you know on your Catalina Island trips. Another Adam Swords epic production. What software do you use for editing.
Cheers Trev. I use premiere pro
What a great video we had the pleasure of kayaking there one year
Side note what are the glasses that you're wearing?
They’re bomber glasses, linked in the description :)
Beautiful country! Very different from my home in Rhode Island. What North Face jacket you are wearing? Safe travels.
So jealous... i was in the US (Cali, Utah, Arizona) in October, i miss those places so much
It’s a good spot!
You gotta get a boat and built it out for more adventures
That would be cool
Nice one Cheesecake!
😋
Beautiful but that canyon was tough to watch. I was so afraid you were going to get stuck back there. Anyway, great ride. 🌝
lol right? Would have been a tough situation to get out of
Dammit boy I think the lake filled up about a foot after that one 😂😂
Hahaha
It looks so cold 🥶 last time I was on a jet sky I threw up🤮.. I was laughing so much I swallowed so much sea water from the spray I was sick lol
Hahahaha
That looks so cool. It's like you were riding in the water surrounded by giant gold nuggets
Yup!
Imagine riding a SeaCant there. It just wouldn’t be the same.
Can't believe it's been one year since the video of you riding through the ice. Man, where's the time gone.
Crazy huh?
Hi Adam
Superb adventure Mate.
I’ve seen a few vlogs a few years ago about canyons like this with people walking them.
Then they have to leg it as flood waters from rain miles away starts to fill up these canyons.
Is this one of these walkable ones or is permanently filled with water.
Keep up the great work 👍🏻
These are permanently filled with water. Best place to be in a flash flood is on a SeaDoo!
@@AdamSwords 👍🏻 Totally agree and those Seadoo are a superb bit of kit.
I was there last May. Definitely coming back. Now with my own ski. Driving from Florida. Hehehehehe
What was the ramp you guys used to launch the skis?
Whaweap
Was that a thermos full of nacho cheese?
Yes
Awesome 👍 love your videos. Beautiful scenery. But could go without the peeing scenes 😂
That was a bit scary in places 😅
You’re telling me!!
Casually driving 8 hours to jet ski...To think that'll take you from one end of the UK to another 😂.
I know! It actually took me 11 hours to get home 🥵
@@AdamSwords wow!.
Great channel and content by the way.
@@AdamSwords 11 hours? I thought you moved to AZ. Are you back in So. Cal….
Wow Adam, that was amazing!! The narrow canyon just blew my mind! To think all of that was cut out by water over millions of years! All the best for 2024 M8, cheers, John. UK.
Nature is WILD
O so happy 2/ c u lol
🙌🏻
Love the channel Adam I’ve been riding skies for 20 years currently on an text x 300 if ever your in Devon come join us 😂 from me John Cornelius the second MILKY BAR KID PEACE 😎😎🙌
Hey Adam. ,a stupid question .
Has it ever been thought off setting up some sort off headlight underneath the ski to help with black water ?
To help see submerged rocks .
I’m just doing research before getting a ski and very safety conscious
No because of the way the hull comes out of the water when you ride. When the ski is on plane you’re literally riding with a foot of the hull touching the water. The rest is lifted out
@@AdamSwords cheers mate worth an ask :)
Did say it was a silly question
Thats where the Garmin kicks in, depth finder
@@Trevdeclune that’s if you got it
15:45 😂😂😂😂😂
😅
You said the reason you don't fish is because you don't eat them, is there a specific reason or just don't like it?
I don’t eat meat, so that’s all.
what coms radio do u use?
That VHF is an ICOM.
Omg…. Stop with the pee
It’s not good to hold it
Is that where you went once before and there was sheets of ice Adam?
Yup
#scenicpiss 🤌😂
Hahaha, trying to incorporate more
God dammit, Adam. Put a trigger warning for people taking diuretic pills. I had to run downstairs three times watching this video with all that water-related B-roll. 🚾🌊🚰
Hahaha
