The kings need more princesses Jami!

[@dirtdobber2185]

Great day on the water, Jami you Go Girl!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

It was a pleasure as always DD!!

[@scottwebb1949]

Fun river with several options to put in and take out.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Indeed!

[@timbest987]

Great video Pete! I love the way you stay positive in any situation. Stay dry and classy man and one day i will catch you on the river. 🐕🛶😎

[@RiverKingsKayak]

thank you sir!! will be looking for ya!

[@CarolinaMusicScene]

Worked in this area for many years and watched many folks enjoy the river. I still have family and friends living on it's banks. I hope one day to get back there and paddle it myself.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Right on Robert!!

[@kathydomokos3265]

Whitewater boat! Yup! Do it!

[@liveoutsidethebox4064]

Still watching awesome videos, recently got hooked into a spillway water reirculation and about drowned only thing that kept me focused to get out was your videos, it was one of those where you know your friends are too far away to try to help, and that the only fight is with you and control and i believed watching these videos for the past year saved my life. Thanks man !

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Wow! Whatever I said that helped out, I am glad I said it! Sounds like a close one for sure! Suuuuuper stoked to still have you around and watching LOtB! That is super encouraging to hear.

[@billcotton1551]

Great video Pete! No one does a kayak trip like the River Kings.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thank you Bill!!

[@FeWolf]

See you on the River, ding, ding, ding, or maybe in it.

[@williamthegriffin6185]

Yes, of course get on the white water! Better to plan a white water trip than find yourself on one😎

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Wise words!!

[@kentharker8991]

Nice outing. Great to get new folks out on the water.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks Kent!

[@dag81games38]

Definitely need to see father and daughter in the white water boats. Had a father and son day on the Ohio river. Had a blast riding the swells coming off all the boat traffic.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

For sure!! right on Dustin!

[@lou36heron87]

thanks for sharing, I paddled this section a couple of years ago with a small group, nice scenery, good memories

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks lou36!

[@KentuckyWoodsman]

Cool River! Looked like a fun trip too. Brian and Jamie need to give WW a try for sure!

[@joserauda5235]

I saw you guys at that river

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Right on Jose!!

[@12STONESADVENTURES]

That was some beautiful water at the put in, but it sure looked muddy and murky further down!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Yeah, muddy creek came in to the river and that was it for the clear water...

[@WhitewaterGypsy]

Beautiful section of river! Y'all looked like you were having a blast! Go Jami!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks man! She is a natural!!

[@matthewtroy5420]

That looks like a great ride!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

It is a cool river Matthew!

[@matthewtroy5420]

River Kings, by the way, I just realized this is a different profile than you’re used to. It’s Todd Roy, from PA.

[@PADDLECAMPFISH]

Awesome little run Pete! Its been a while since I've got to sit down and watch a River King video and I enjoyed it as always! Hey I like that paddle toss over the fallen trees I'm going to try that next time I head down the river!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

thanks Dirk! James got me doing that again! I hadn't done one for about 15 years...Watch the Kid goes over a waterfall video! It is my favorite that I ever made... kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmPPZIB-ZdaoasU this and part 1...

[@PADDLECAMPFISH]

@@RiverKingsKayak Ok will do Pete! I got some catching up to do on my videos. Interested in seeing this one!

[@billysherlin6589]

My wife said during the video that Pete was probably bored on this river.... She nailed it. Jamie really needs to try that whitewater boat! I know I want to get in one. Great video as usual!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

oh yeah, he is a gnar-snob now! lol!

[@dannyminton8870]

Beautiful river good job Jamie Brian white water matters come on over the ground is moving now class I here this morning great job

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks Danny!

[@tomsergesketter5138]

Yes. White water boat for Jamie

[@abl5516]

Great adventure channel!! Have you heard much about the Prijon Munga?

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Have heard of them, but have never seen one. Looks good!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

And Thanks UO!!

[@jatiedesurvey6057]

Brian!! Even I want to try WW! I'll watch you do it first though!! LOL!

[@mikeemmons4062]

Brian and Jami definitely need to get into whitewater boats!

[@chadbuchanan7044]

Gonna need to see some whitewater action out of RKB!!!

[@mountainsnmoore256]

Of course we want to see them in some WW boats! BTW, Pete, it sounds like P5 may be about ready for that special run here in NE Alabama that you & I have talked about... I know a guy that can hook you up with the put-in, take-out, shuttle, and I may even know where an awesome burger might be found...

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Right on Brad!!

[@greenwoodsbushhogging6704]

That above all the lakes ain't it? One day, I'll get to go to that part of the river.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Above and below...

[@dirtbagadventures1]

WW boats for sure !!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Right on Dirtbag!!

[@danielrogers32]

C’mon, Brian and Jamie! Y’all got this! I swam my first rapid in a whitewater boat but I ain’t done yet! You gotta at least try!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thats right!

[@adventurekid9242]

Yes... At least Jami in a Whitewater boat!!

[@garyramsdale9340]

Would Jamie have more success in a boat where the foot pads and knee braces would allow her to be well fitted?? Therefore the whitewater kayak would likely be better for her to control. enjoyed the flow. we have had little rain here, therefore our rivers are too low. Keep the videos coming.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Yes Gary, she has outgrown the tsunami sp. We r looking for her next boat now.

[@Treasuremonk]

What part of Catawba River? I always think Catawba river as in Catawba, Lincoln to Gaston

[@RiverKingsKayak]

near Morganton NC

[@Treasuremonk]

River Kings up camping now

[@LanceWWKayak]

How'd you like that Stinger?

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Was nice! really fast and holds a line like no other ww boat.

[@LanceWWKayak]

@@RiverKingsKayak You gonna use it for some over nighters or more for day trips?

[@myadventureoutdoors]

Where's my Club 9 hat? I'm an actual club member.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Provisional member...for full share membership options (including coveted hat), you must first complete section 9 in a loaded sea kayak...

Any ideas where to find a yukon expedition? Can't find anything online. Southeast Georgia is a hard place to find them i guess.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

It can be tough. Keep an eye out and pounce when you see one!

[@juanhuttoe4517]

@@RiverKingsKayak yeah i will for sure. I have a 15ft sot now and it does the job, pretty quick in the water, just doesn't turn very well. I can't do swift water in it. I want a sit in for another option. Was also looking at the wilderness tsunami. I need capacity, I usually stay around 210 to 220. There may be better options for me I'm not sure.

[@lloydwelchjr.4830]

I was on the river that same day 🤙🤙🛶🏞️how do I join the club

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Right on Lloyd! It is not a formal club. We just get together and paddle! Feel free to join the Facebook group...Lots of fun and goings on there!

@@RiverKingsKayak I would love to get up with you and go on an adventure.. I love your channel!! Such a wonderful perspective on life in general.

Which LL model are you boating, Pete?

[@RiverKingsKayak]

That is a liquid logic stinger xp

I’m dying to loose enough weight to get in LL remix 10.

[@jatiedesurvey6057]

@@matthewtroy5420 Do it Matthew. Ive lost 60 lbs since Feb and now at 210. It feels so much different in the kayak now!!

[@matthewtroy5420]

JA Tiede Survey, I’m working on it. Had some health issues, and meds with side effects to contend with, but I’m in the water 3 times a week, and doing my best to burn it off. It ain’t as easy now that I’m over 50, though. Lol

[@jatiedesurvey6057]

@@matthewtroy5420 its never easy, I am 57 and just starting to get into kayaks and was just too heavy.

[@johnnyadkins8216]

Come on Brian, you got to get in short boat.

[@cheryzheng]

So this river actually flows AWAY from Lake James? Interesting!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Yes. It actually flows into it above the lake as well. So does the Linville River. But they come out as the Catawba. The Confluence of the two is under the lake water.
