Interesting, I've noticed that I pretty much only high brace but haven't put thought into when to low brace. That's really good feedback, thanks!

The short answer is lack of rest before that flip and poor technique. I was winded, lifted my head before the hip snap, and didn't get my paddle close enough to the surface before initiating the roll.

well, it happens even to the pros ;) Great river btw

Thanks! I can't wait to get back and give it another go, hopefully it'll be a less hectic run 😅

Nice edit! Great you have such a supportive crew. There’s so much you can learn about technique on easier water without feeling & making others feel fear. It’s always a bummer when an avoidable situation results in a would be kayaker homie going back to rafting because they stepped up too quickly. A really bad swim often turns into a huge mental challenge to recover from. Humility is a wonderful character trait, and this video is a great example of many things to learn from. 🙏🏼🥰

I borrowed it from Alex!
