Pinned Kayak Rescue: That Time I Pinned on the Beaver River

While paddling the Eagle Section of the Beaver River in upstate New York, kayaker Andy Murray becomes pinned in a sieve between rocks. Watch how a group of seasoned paddlers trained in swiftwater rescue quickly comes to his aid while Andy himself tells the story.
Andy's rescuers were members of the Ottawa-based paddling club Coureurs de Bois. For more information, go to their website: cdb-ottawa.com/

[@NRSWEB]

I wasn't in the video or even there when it was filmed but I think he cut out the pat of the video where he throws the paddle across to the folks on the other shore.
