Hi, I’m Nathan Anderson. I started Whitewater Kayaking sometime around April of 2020. My first boat was a Dagger Katana 10.4 which I used and pushed all the way into Class III+ stuff later that year. By this point, I was already hooked and realized that I would need to get a more proper WW boat if I wanted to get into harder whitewater. I ultimately settled on the Dagger Nomad S (newer version). I continued to progress rapidly and kept pushing further and further. In early 2021, I stepped into Class IV stuff. I kept pushing and got on the Green River Narrows on Halloween of that year. I then went back to paddle the Narrows on race day to watch the race. The next day, I got my personal first descent (PFD) on the Tallulah and ran Oceana (Class V+) for the first time. I now paddle the Green fairly often among other runs in the area.
Showing my Friend Down Daisy Creek [CO]
(06/19/2024) Showing my Friend Down Daisy Creek Colorado. He had never done it before and I was eager to get back on it, so I decided to show him down. The run is pretty straightforward and most of it is read and run. For the Big Waterfall, make sure to go far left as the landing area on the right is really shallow.

Clear Creek Marathon Paddle
Переглядів 37721 годину тому
(06/17/2024) Clear Creek Marathon Paddle. We Put in at the Whitewater Park in Lawson, CO. and paddled all the way through the Black Rock Section. The level was around 800 cfs. Overall we paddled over 20 miles. Sadly my camera died as i was peeling out for the narrows part of the Black Rock section. Also, I chose to portage Rigor Mortis as i wasn't feeling it. #colorado #clearcreek #daggerkayaks...

It was also nice to finally run the slides of Purlear Creek. I’ve been eyeing this sequence for a long time. Happy to finally get it. Regarding Purlear Creek, it is really tiny and takes tons of water to even get going. 3...

Looks more like a trout stream than a creek boating venue. Hope they had fun though.
I would be scared just to cross some of those eddy lines!
Oh, this looks like a nice creek, maybe a bit boring for an experienced paddler... 5:12 ooooh...here comes the highlight :D
im tired at the 5 min mark and i just watched i never thought about it but paddlers must have a strong hand shake
Nice💜💜💜💜💜
yo dawg this is some fuckshit to be running solo. Kayaking isn't fun enough to justify dying for it. Just remember if you die out there someone has to make the call to your parents, friends, etc.. and tell them that they never get to see their loved one again. I know the satisfaction that comes with pushing yourself and running new whitewater but you've gotta know that there is no satisfaction worth uselessly dying. Keep pushing yourself but man please be safe.
Yeaaaaa. Normally I don’t solo. Especially with the higher level of risk and everything. I really shouldn’t at all. On another note hit me up when you do something in the SE. Would love to boat with you. Really itching to get on HP and Thompson again if rain would cooperate. Also are you going to Gauley Fest or Russell or anything?
Uncle Bennnn!!!! 🫳🤙 Tell your pops I said hello Mr. Atherton
Last time I did a solo I died.
Sick run dude
Some good water there. I enjoyed watching that.
Sadly didn’t get to capture much of the actual good stuff which is in the Blackrock Section.
Bummed I missed this! Hey man, any chance of seeing you up at the Gauley anytime soon? I was gonna go up there this weekend and get a few laps if you're in the area!
I think the camera DID do it justice, that looks gnarly as hell.
nice !! - Bill M.
Nice run, but please, next time plan on getting others together for such difficulties. You only get one life, you can't enjoy rivers if you die out there. Most accidents happen under well-intended circumstances.
Lines looked spot on, nice job. Beautiful falls too.
I used to live outside of DC for a couple years. I’ve driven passed Rock Creek hundreds of times. It’s usually about knee deep all the way down, but I aways wondered what it would like with a lot of water. Cool little short run. And it’s the one spot in DC that makes you forget you’re actually in the city.
So serious question! Why not go right in the center of the biggest waves for the most fun?
@@jacobklein2778 - I was looking back at my footage and was thinking the exact same thing lol. I was playing things more cautiously with it being my 2nd time down and with me doing it at a significantly higher level than last year. Yea, looking back, I missed opportunities for things.
Great! but...what river it is?
@@michelezorloni5010 - The creek is actually called Difficult Run. It flows into the Potomac below Great Falls.
I solo 99% of the time…still alive and kicking!
I usually don’t solo. I was hoping to find people to take me down but couldn’t get anyone to rally. It was dropping out fast. I also was able to scout everything beforehand and saw that it was within my abilities so I fired it up.
Awesome! Mostly you styled it. The last section where you flipped looked to be a tough cleave of a spot.
Thanks for the views. For the first time, I could "see" the error Scott Bristow made that cost him his life in 1998l
Sick way to send it 🫳🏻🔥🔥
I dont Kayak, but ive watched hundreds of decends and pinned kayakers on UA-cam. At 1:40 when you are scouting that section there is a SO MANY bad spots you can get pinned in. If I did Kayak I wouldn't do that section without people ready on the sides with ropes. Maybe if you are very advanced at least with a group of 4 or 5. One person wont have the strength to get you out most likely.....I look back on my life pretty often, at 50 years old I don't have a clue how I made it through life this long. Its all in Gods hands but I don't invite death anymore. Be smart out there.
you have zero experience with this but please keep telling people what to do
@@bearsharkp3901 you think it was smart to do that?
@@bearsharkp3901 He has enough life experience to understand the dangers. Don't knock wisdom. You'll get there.
Shut up Ronnie lol what up homie -Black Matt🤣 MFS roasting Nate 4 soloing
Soloing a first time run is about the stupidest thing you can do.
Not a good place to be playing solo.
Yeaaaa, and especially with running the big one. Normally I don’t paddle solo but I ended up doing this solo as it was dropping out fast and I couldn’t get anyone to rally. By the time I got over there, it was later in the afternoon/evening. Regarding running Difficult, I looked at everything from the trail before even putting on. Then I got out before the big one to give it a good scout before firing it up. I do want to get back on it at some point and with an actual crew. It’s a neat run.
That was sick dawg
Looks like the Zambezi! Cool cutaway on the flip, confident roll and solid paddling in that Vanguard.
Another great PFD. Stayed upright. Takin’ full advantage of the high flow.
Well run. Great achievement! Musta been a long time coming.
@@macfawlty - I’ve been boating since 2020 and great falls was a goal of mine since very early on. I finally first started running the falls last year. Ran the VA side and got comfortable to the point of racing that side last year. Then over the winter and into this year I checked off a bunch of stouts like the Thompson, Horsepasture. 200% gorilla on the Green Narrows, High water Gragg Prong, and Little White Salmon. By the time I got back up to Great Falls this year, I felt more than ready for the MD side and sure enough.
Ooo no way. I’m into most all action sports, but that gives me the willies
yay!
More guts than brains. 🧠
This is something I would never do. 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Long boat was a good choice. Loved the speed thru there other than that hiccup.
😮😮😮😮😮Безумец!!!
Nice recovery!
Where is this? There are several places called “Great Falls”
@@ambicateiler3152 - Great Falls of the Potomac, Near DC
Always wanted to run that. My x was from Pueblo, so we drove the canyon many times. Where are the rafts?
@@big1dog23- Not sure 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️. Didn’t really see anyone else out there at all. Did 2 laps
Crazy
😨 scary
That's some seriously brown water right there, both in the literal and mid-2000s-Demshitz sense!
Note, I have run Pummel before but none of the other rapids.
2:00 - nice 3:10
YakHub
Lot of fast moving water....what a ride!
Do the Black !!!
Sweet video! What's that you have between your hands on your paddle? Is that a leash?
@@morganmeehan5991 - Pogies
I see you have your helmet cam in side view mirror mode...Assuming it was a nice run, could't watch this one.
YT shorts are all in that vertical cam mode. This is a snippet of the whole run. Click the related video.
Nice! What rig is that?
I'm in my Dagger Code. It's a Small. love the boat. My current paddle is a Werner Powerhouse.
Your videos are so fun to watch! I wish I was in an area to have a boat like that and try higher class rivers!!
Very impressive Rogue Dragoon
