Following Dane Jackson down the Zambezi river!

[@amye4087]

Haha. Blast from the past. Not sure why this just came up in my feed but I love the "would you like those instructions" and next shot is Dane upside down. Love it.

[@emerycomputer]

I'm not a kayaker so I can't speak to the size of your stones but mine were tested there a couple of decades back, in August, on a 6-person raft... I still remember the roar of the water, you literally can't hear yourself scream. We flipped 3 times, last one was Oblivion. I also remember whimpering like a little baby. Good times. LOL

[@smuir6104]

Holy cow! That was awesome. I can only imagine how you felt in the water seeing those monster holes coming, and there is no way out!

[@nicklipkowski7223]

so glad you left it as is. I'm a musician and a boater and while I love music, on the river the sound of the water itself is the ultimate soundtrack

[@fivethreeyearolds8562]

Absolutely the most epic and unreal rapids back to back! True extreme sportsmanship at its finest right here! Stay safe and keep bringing these dope vids 🔥

[@michaelnerby8129]

Beast! Well done. Looks so fun and rowdy! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@TayWhyte]

I know you wanted music in this Bren, but the raw sound brings a bit more of the rowdiness of the river out in the video.

[@Senders]

Cheers mate, glad you liked it!

[@Jevandtieriel]

@@SendersI love the no music... thank you.

[@rbergs7193]

OH MY GOSH!! MY HEART WAS RACING, I WAS STANDING UP, TENSING EVERY MUSCLE IN MY BODY, YELLING "WOAH!!” Thanks so much for the ride dude!!! I'll watch from HERE any day!! But, yeah, love the natural sounds... Way more intense and life like!!! .....I'm still in shock how big that water is! Lol

[@tornadocraver]

Sick footage, that was epic! I've never seen holes that big before from the kayaker's perspective.

[@paullydon7143]

Yes Bren, brought back some great memories. Keep em coming!

[@knaz7468]

I've seen runs on this river many times ... this one made it look as epic as it must be. It's also funny watching you do those cork screw flips over waves in opposite direction to dane's.

[@petrhermanadventures9509]

That got my heart rate up just watching, can't imagine yours dropping into it. I only ever paddled one "big water" river and I think I felt like throwing up most of the time. So intimidating. Good that you admit that fear, it's what keeps you alive.

[@coltentodhunter7551]

Audio was nice for a change. Just mentioned to mr. Nick T the sound of the water is epic who needs a royalty Free KZbin song😄 Nice to see Bren nervous for a change , Ottawa River- " this is going to be sporty"

I'd like to see how many flips he could get on Hermit Rapid on the Colorado in the GC. It's my only reference point to the awesome wave train where he managed four!

[@cg147963]

Watched so many of your sick videos!!! How do you keep your camera lens clear of water droplets?

[@iainrenton7527]

A word of advice Bren; never follow Dane; you are a very, very good paddler; but Dane is a river God. He was conceived in a Toppo Duo in between the rapids on the Green river. Water loves him - that is why he always gets the green lines. But seriously that water was huge and very complicated . I've run stoppers like them, but it was just one at the end of the rapid. Taking on 3 - 4 in the middle of a rapid must be really scary. You get my "Big Balls of week" trophy.

[@Senders]

Haha, for sure mate! Dane is a straight ninja, there is also almost nobody else I would rather follow down a river for the first time!

[@benbox7329]

I think you seat has a lil less pad on it cause I'm pretty sure you puckered some on that run. Lol. .... Every time I watch Mr Jackson paddle I remember a time when we were on the same river he was in the first fun style boat on our meek lil class 3 river the Lehigh in PA even then he was throwing down 👍

[@tristanedey8785]

Awesome video :) Do you know what the levels are like in Jan/Feb and if 12B is still in then?

[@Senders]

I think January is high water and 12 b needs low water

[@romangoat6652]

Did you scout or just run it?

[@coltentodhunter7551]

Roman Goat Dane has done it a few times . Plus there are river Sherpas who know it inside out. Each rapid has a name and classification

[@HanrgyHippopotamus]

@@coltentodhunter7551 the names are rapid 1-2-3-4 etc. lol

[@roshaw87]

Cant run the minus without walking up past them. And I'd imagine you stop to peek first at number 9 no matter how good you are?

[@HanrgyHippopotamus]

Ronan Shaw gotta agree with u. I would be terrified but still I think they didn’t scout. Maybe they did though. It’s likely I’m wrong.

[@Senders]

I shouted the minus rapids on the walk up to them, everything else Dane remembered the lines and I just followed him straight down it all

[@DiscosVideos]

Were you in a Ripper?

[@deathanglewhitewater]

Sick dude what else are you running in Africa?

[@Senders]

Just the Zambezi on this trip mate!

[@mcoppock214]

Skills dude skills

[@TKM11370]

The Zambezi is a great run, never had the chance to run the minus ones, probably wouldn't have either as they are massive and when I paddled it, I don't think they had been run (was Steve Fisher the first?). The rest of them down to the mid 20s are pretty tame big water. Been far more scared in Wales on tight pinny stuff than on the Zambezi. Great to see it's still a great paddle! When I went there, the biggest I'd paddled before that was a few rivers in spate in France, quite the eye opener.

[@Senders]

Mate, epic comment! What year where you there?

[@TKM11370]

@@Senders I think it was 1999 or 2000. I had a brand new Ultra Clean from Perception, my sponsor at the time. Fuck that boat was heavy on the walk out. I spent a bit of time running the first 5 rapids on a play run with Nico Chasing and he had some Riot kayak that weighed about 10kg and he would literally run up the walk out at number 5 while I slowly died carrying up this heavy ass boat.

[@bd99]

Haha this popped up on my feed, and I was there with Tony back in 99 or whenever it was! Amazing place and great memories. Fantastic video Mr Sender! Boof level 99999 on number 5! Was that Oblivion you paddled on to to get the nose flush?

[@serpensphile]

Seriously? ROFL

[@Canoer-rk8xg]

@@serpensphile If i went to Zambia kayaking I'd want a playboat. And considering Bren and Dane are the best playboaters, I thought they'd take playboats. ROFL noob 😉

[@HanrgyHippopotamus]

@@Canoer-rk8xg yeah most people run it in playboats so its a good question to ask

[@louiselliott9357]

I think it's perhaps to do with the levels at this time of year (not good for freestyle surfing), and they seem to be in rippers/antix so mabey they're just trying to get the best of both worlds

[@Senders]

The Zambezi has some waves but they are hard to get and there are only a few freestyle spots to enjoy a freestyle kayak with. Whereas there are over 20 rapids on the way down, we are just looking to cruise the river, throw some down river move, get in shape and have a good time! We will focus on freestyle at Stakeout... I also have a Jed here in case a sick wave comes in...

[@Feetzekk]
