    Damn bro you should have told those guys to stay off if they have missed a roll lately. Almost drowned at +13 when I was a beginner and wished someone had been truthful with me that day. You did good loved the video. All those empty boats omg that was very telling. Almost said it looked less technical at the beginning thought it had washed out a lot of the holes but I could tell they were still sticky. Razorback and that far left line I can truthfully say I haven't ran that line.

    • @WadeHarrison
      @WadeHarrison  11 місяців тому +4

      I don’t tell grown man or woman what they should do
      I was only meeting one guy there the dude in the lettman boat the rest were in their own crews
      And was just doing their own thing and paddle down same time we did I will help anyone if see them in trouble and if they ask I will tell them but I’m sure not walking around like I have authority of who padddles what that’s a slippery slope

      @@WadeHarrison hey man I meant no disrespect lol. I could see the concern in their eyes and loved your response. Not your job to tell them if they should paddle it. Back then I prolly wouldn't have listened anyway. Part of the learning process. Never seen a +25 video so that was very cool to see. I think a lot of people love seeing it out of curiosity.

    Damn in a 252, ive been paddling 1 year only in a rockstar v, just got a 242 and it feels like a giant boat, then you take the 252 a bigger boat and make it look scary to paddle on that river, well its what i spent the money on, guess i just need to realize im gonna get worked, still better to run low volume class 4 in the 242 then a rockstar, you looked human today wade, thanks for the upload

    That looked like a pretty gnarly lap!!
    So much going on. I could ID a few of the rapids, but so much was too puffy to ID well.
    Is that the smallest of the firecrackers? It looks like you have to be on your line and make sure to be fully in the game to paddle that kind of water with it.
    Loving the Videos! Keep em coming !
