Turn the sound on! Here’s a short clip from the video we just uploaded to YouTube showing the latest skin on frame river touring prototype in class I to III whitewater. (Full video below!) I’ll be making a video later this week where I talk about the design and detail and the next steps in development.
In a somewhat entertaining twist of events, I wasn’t actually planning on running any class III white water in the kayak yet, but I was confused about what section of the river I was on. I do remember thinking when we scouted the rapids from above: “Man, I must be getting old because that looks like some pretty solid class II!” I would later discover that the very first rapid (first rapid shown here) which I didn’t even scout is called Toilet Bowl. This would explain why I dropped into a hole that completely buried me and the boat for a moment! I’ll have to throw up the GoPro footage of that at some point!
