Returning to the same spot that I hurt myself - My First Day Back at the Whitewater Center

- If you fall off a horse, get back on. If you fall out of a boat, drink a beer, go to the ER, mope around for a month, then get back in.
Without rain, I only had one place to go get my sea legs back - the dreaded whitewater center dun dun dun….
Do I redeem myself?? Or am I out another month??!? Its hard to get back into the same spot that you last had some traumatic event occur, and be able to perform again.

So sick running that and awesome to see that level of progression. Love this channel!
Ahhh thanks so much! :) thanks for watching :)
Good to see you back on the water.
Thanks man!
also fun to see you in the RPM. My boat is also a RPM and I'm hoping to make my first trip up to the Riversports WW center in Oklahoma City on Monday
That’s awesome! I love love love the rpm. Let me know how that place goes for you!
@@JerKayaks it was great. They have a competition channel and a recreation channel. Comp channel was really tough and pushy but great learning experience. Recreation channel was more my speed but it was shallow and you rubbed bottom if you flipped. I ended up swimming 5 times, but I hit a lot of combat rolls. It was an awesome feeling when I hit combat rolls in the comp channel. I'm even more addicted than I was before.
That’s the way to do it! Whitewater parks are a great way to learn paddling skills in my opinion!
Loved the Video, Jer! Sometimes it takes more than a month to conquer the nerves to get back in the water! Thanks! Awesome paddle! see you in the next video!
Thanks Lisa! Was awesome paddling with you this last week! See you on the river soon!
Welcome back
Thanks!!
Nice work!
Thanks! I'm falling in love with the wwc haha
Nice, well done on battling that fear and getting through it! I had a similar moment years ago with a river; capsized at a hole which had a rock in it, that hit my forehead and gave me a large bump there. Not as gnarly as your story but it convinced me to buy a better helmet and the next time i did that section of the rapid I was shitting myself... Now its a breeze! Just remember what you did wrong on the time you got hurt and you will be fine. Looking forward to watching more of your videos! Take care
Thanks! It’s a tough mental game for sure when you’re back at that same spot haha! Glad you were okay!
youre doing great bud. youll get there. The best brace of all is the forward or backward stroke.
The best brace is no need to brace haha!
@@JerKayaks nah even daneo braces
Awesome brother...great way to build up and explain the mental game that goes into this. Making it look easy😎
Gotta get you out here soon! The park is awesome!
Thats a lot of people watching!
Big water night at the whitewater center is always packed in the summer! :) I love the energy and the vibe there! Thanks for watching :)
Good to see you back brother. Looking forward to running with ya soon. Great video!
Thank you!! Looks like rain is finally headed our way
Congrats!! Glad to see you back at it! I can’t wait to redeem myself at Kibler…hopefully
Thanks! Gotta get out there and try! Haha
Nice job surfing m wave dude, no idea how you do it. Saw myself at the end too in the blue fluid😂
Haha you gotta try it! Its a ton of fun! Let me know whenever you go back to the park!
That was interesting. So give me some back story: You got hurt at the whitewater center, and this vid was you "getting back on the horse?" Where is this center?
Yes! I got hurt at the center in very very similar circumstances. Big water, competition channel, same move out of the eddy. I had been out of paddling for a full month and that was my first day back on moving water
Whitewater center in Charlotte, North Carolina
