Agree, edits are cool, but seeing a bit more of the story of the day makes for a great video.

[@josiatokirina1788]

Dane, you always have the best helmet cam videos. I believe it is because of your great paddling posture, which keeps your head upright and centered over your boat. It is so refreshing to watch your videos with whitewater sounds and no music.

[@danejacksonkayak]

Appreciate it!

Great vids Dane. Love how you giggle on drops most of us would "pucker" on!....haha

[@walthanas]

It's really nice to hear Adrian's succinct and to the point descriptions. I remember my first run down the Green Narrows with Leland Davis giving me a very similar set of instructions. Good times! :-) I had to smile when I heard Adrian say that with everyone else they would scout the next rapid but that you were just going run it. That Myrkdal-selva sure looks like fun, especially with the crew you ran it with!

[@mcoppock214]

That’s an awesome run, good water level and the guide was amazing.

[@Jesusisthewayandtruth]

Dude, Dane. That was a sick run!! I was gripping tight watching you only take instructions and then go for the rapids. Good to see a common question you had was "is there a hole". Each time the guy responding "Yes". 🤣 But shows that your always being cautious of what's next especially on big water. Amazing amazing buddy

[@theodoreroberts8524]

How does Adrian remember these lines so perfectly?! I struggle to give good beta even on rivers I know really well. I recognise the features as I come to them, but couldn't describe most of the lines until I see them

[@danejacksonkayak]

It is somewhat of a skill built up over time, but an important one. It's worth taking the time to try to become good at giving beta, your friends will thank you. The most important thing of beta is not giving too much information, just keep it simple.

[@andyeighttre]

Flow State perhaps. The difference between us weekend warriors and the pros.

[@riveringmovie5046]

I just watched the Cherry Creek post from this month before this on. Honestly, I was much more tense watching this run. There was so much water and just no stopping. Loved it.

[@Cephalopopo]

great video, thank you! Also really nice to have a few without music. I love all of you guys. your videos are so great, cause they are entertaining but in the same time even a not so epxerienced kayaker like myself, I can actually learn things from your videos. For instance, as I never ran big waves as you guys do, it is so interesting to see for me that and how you lean into those big water rollers.

[@landonsmith4731]

How do you get into whitewater kayaking? Are there any good forums?

[@waynefatguyinakayak7408]

There's pretty much a forum for anything you can think of, but your best bet is to look up local businesses in your area that specialize in whitewater, visit them in person, and find out if they offer instruction or can point you towards someone who does. Many can outfit you with all the equipment you'll need for their classes, so you can decide if you want to make the investment to buy your own after trying out the sport.

[@gunterletsch8313]

Werner should print their name in the middle of the paddle, so you wouldn't have to hold the paddle in the camera from time to time ;-)

[@danejacksonkayak]

Haha

[@mtndewvlogs907]

I still dont know what a hole is in this context

[@danejacksonkayak]

Like the end of an ocean wave, it’s a feature that you can get stuck in, and in some cases can be very difficult to get out of.

[@cmerkyurky]

What does he mean when he says there is a “hole” at the bottom? Like a place to get trapped?

[@danejacksonkayak]

Yeah a feature like the end of an ocean wave, where you can get stuck and potentially surf.

[@rullestaden]

will you be coming back to Norway soon?

[@danejacksonkayak]

Sadly not this year. But I am definitely ready to get back!

[@danejacksonkayak]

@ Bummed to hear that! Hopefully it'll happen next year!

[@brandonlee8595]

It’s fairly cold but we are dressed appropriately so it’s not bad especially that time of the year.

[@florolp6704]

Awesome video man 😅 how do you keep the water from your lens? I mean my recordings are often useless because you cant see shit 😂

[@1stVARifleman]

Lick your lense a few times it keeps water from sticking. Also, in between rapids throw water on your camera. It will wash any stuck bead of water off your lense. You should do both a few times every run.

[@danejacksonkayak]

Yep what he said! Lick the lens and dunk it in the water before each clip!

[@ralfbender1728]

That was not 11 o clock that was 1 o clock completly wrong dirrection but he managed to punch the hole

[@ryank2434]

whats a hole?

[@danejacksonkayak]

It’s a recirculating feature, looks like the end of a ocean wave. It can sometimes be big enough to hold you and give you a beat down, and sometimes cause you to swim out of your kayak.

[@fredgoeskayaking337]

What does “beta” refer to? I’m just a fan, not a kayaker.

[@danejacksonkayak]

Basically information on the run or the rapids or something you need to know about the river. Someone usually gives you beta on where to go, things to look out for etc.
