great video, nice to see all the rapids, especially by someone on their PFD

[@paddlebikediveclimb]

Thanks! I tend to film more on a PFD as I never know what's around a corner.

[@chrisbodner2424]

Nailed it! Congrats!

[@paddlebikediveclimb]

Thanks! Looking forward to getting Pillow right next time.

@@paddlebikediveclimb that was my only off line as well on my PFD this year. We will style it next run 💪

Great video. Took me back 16 years.

[@paddlebikediveclimb]

Thanks; I'm happy to share the joy!

I didn't know about that left-side line you took at the second drop of Lost Paddle. Interesting.

[@paddlebikediveclimb]

I like it, and at least for people I paddle with, it seems to be the preferred line over Hawaii 5 0

That’s some wavy gravy. Nice long edit of the UG. An epic year of PFD’s for you and I’m guessing there’s more to come on your 2022 bucket list. So, what’s next?

I really like the camera angle in this video. I prefer to see the river, not stare down at someone's spraydeck.

[@paddlebikediveclimb]

Thanks. Every now and again I'll mess up angling the camera, and I end up with a video of my deck. It does make for sad footage.

[@justinerdie6442]

Alot of these videos today from some of the best kayakers on the planet point the camera directly at the spraydeck. It fills up half the picture. I'd rather see more of the river. I've still never paddled the UG. This video is one of the best learning tools I've seen so far, along with the aerial video showing lines down the big 5 with Clay Wright.
