Alaskan Adventure 87 Miles Down the Kenai River on Paddle Boards!

We took paddle boards 87 miles down the Kenai River from the Kenai Lake to the Cook Inlet. This was one of the most beautiful adventures I have ever been on!

[@mckaybailey3621]

This is legit so awesome. This river needs more publicity.

[@AndrewMuse]

Such an epic place! I hope it stays nice and sleepy!

[@alaskaasmr200]

It does NOT need more publicity. It's one of the most famous in the world already lol.

[@RanOutOnARail]

It's really great to see this footage up now.

[@AndrewMuse]

We need to make an edit telling your story my friend!

[@RanOutOnARail]

There's not much to my story worth telling but I definitely think we should do a future video together. The trainhopping experience in 4K would be fantastic.

[@theaprum1]

Fantastic and inspiring adventure.

[@AndrewMuse]

Thank you for the support!

[@Dd-uu4vo]

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

[@AndrewMuse]

It's so amazing! AK is next level!

[@fishingmumbai8517]

👌👌👌👍👍👍

[@wanderthelinear2128]

I want to be in your gang! Looked beyond Amazing

[@AndrewMuse]

It was such an incredible experience! 😊

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

i havent paddleboarded it..but ive taken my raft from kenai to skilak lake and paddled it across.. the canyon after jims landing i bet was fun as hell on a paddleboard..lmao

[@AndrewMuse]

Heheh We ran it like 5 times! It was so fun. I got it clean once but no one wants to see that! LOL

[@AndreasBatsilas]

Hey man I loved the video, I would really love to visit Alaska sometime. Maybe at my US years. Loved the adventure. Thanks for traveling us. Ps where was kicker? Was it too cold and you did bring him?

[@AndrewMuse]

You absolutely have to! It's one of the most beautiful places on earth. Where are you planning on staying in the US?

[@lauramadera5267]

Love this video!!!!!! We just bought property on the Kenai River. The fishing village you went through, was that in Saldotna/Kenai on the Slough near town? Wondering if we're near the hidden sauna.

[@AndrewMuse]

That’s so awesome! What an incredible place to check out! I was sworn to secrecy about the location. I’m sorry but I’m a man of my word.

[@trebor519]

dude did you notice the fish that jumps when you backflip off the rock?! ha!

[@AndrewMuse]

Hahah hell yeah man! Mother nature doin her thing!

[@madisonquine6092]

Looks amazing! I'm planning a SUP trip with my brother and am considering this one. Would it be possible to do with two people and only carry the gear on our paddle boards?

[@AndrewMuse]

I would def be possible. The wind on those lakes can be really rough. Fighting a headwind would be the hardest thing to deal with but it's certainly possible to do. It's a trip I wanna do again someday!

[@frankp3757]

Amazing journey. Do you think a wave runner could make the entire run down and then back up?

[@AndrewMuse]

Thank you! A wave runner could probably make it!

[@Mark-xs9wd]

Gorgeous video dude. Which board are you using here? The size/shape looks great

[@AndrewMuse]

Thanks man I appreciate it! To be honest, I don't remember what boards we were riding. The two boards were different but SHUBU was the brand.

[@danielsvids7325]

What board is that?

[@alexbaek9948]

You can see a fish breaching the water at 2:08!

[@AndrewMuse]

I didn't realize that until I was editing it! Such a beautiful spot it was surreal.

[@Khaiman111]

Anyone know what footwear was used?

[@moisttowelettes3640]

A long term paddle board adventure is literally my dream. Can I ask where exactly your trip on the Kenai started? (Asking because I want to go one day).

[@edreese2761]

The probably started in the town of Cooper Landing. There is a bridge over the Kenai River where it exits Kenai Lake.

[@alaskaasmr200]

@@edreese2761 Yes, 100%

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

No canyon footage? lmao little too rough to break out the camera??

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

how was naptowne rapids?

[@AndrewMuse]

That first fall is the canyon I believe. It was hard juggling everything for sure!

[@AndrewMuse]

So much fun! lol

[@akborealisdevstringerdesig3845]

2017 was the worst summer weather wise on record

[@AndrewMuse]

Thats crazy! I feel like we lucked out all things considered!

[@gabbyvaladezz]

Can anyone paddle board on Kenai Lake?
