Intro to Continual Flow - How to Kayak

[@ericryan4695]

Nice video Pete, good mix of solid advice and sense. in a calm manner. Looks like a nice river for mere mortals rather than the terrorizing water you see on some videos. Great work, keep it up !

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks Eric!

[@macfawlty]

This was a fun one to watch, just viewing the subtlety of line in a continuous flow. The voiceover narrative is always nice. I liked the following segments. Pretty nice cinematography considering the modest equipment.

Thanks macfawlty!

Amazing river and great paddling lessons you are giving. Didn't hear the bell once.

[@BeauChampion]

What a great... run, day, video, opportunity to learn... All of it!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks Beau! I totally agree!

[@GatewoodBrown]

The crew did great! What a beautiful section of river. Glad to see you guys out there! This looks like a perfect section to learn continual flow.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

For sure Gatewood! There are just sooo many out there like this! Gas the truck up!! Here we come!

[@jameslloydjr3929]

Great stuff man! Especially for new paddlers, it’s motivating and instructional all at the same time.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Right on! Thats the name of the game!

[@SideTrailAdventures]

What a beautiful run…Pete makes it look easy!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks Austin! He is really coming along!

[@luca1658]

Im so jealous i have covid and can't paddle

[@timbest987]

Nice video for someone, like me, looking to up their game. Eventually I would like to get into more of this. Thanks for the intro to!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Right on Tim! We gotta do another run soon!

[@SouthernPaddler]

Awesome video, Pete!! Man, that river looks fun!! Amazing scenery!! 👍👍

[@RiverKingsKayak]

It is a good one, but just scratching the surface of what is out there! You need to join us!

[@SouthernPaddler]

@@RiverKingsKayak I really do!! I know it would be a blast. NC has some absolutely amazing rivers.

[@davegilbert9000]

what a perfect little river bud, the boys getting confidence, looking good. our North Saskatchewan river opened up on Monday, still some ice flow but heading to the mountains for some high water action next weekend. great vid once again boys. Say hi to that wicked little dude of yours for me k.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Will do Dave! Thanks!

[@real_Papa_Roach]

My favorite whitewater run, site of my first swim (Basketball) and on another occasion my best ever day paddling.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Right on Edward!!

[@v.l.winslow5395]

Beautiful run! I enjoyed that.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks V. L.!

[@lou36heron87]

good video, I'd like to paddle that some time, looks like a nice flow to that river, have known some others who have paddled it and they seemed to like it and have a good time, this is the first video I remember seeing outside of just posted pics, so it was helpful to see footage of it

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Right on lou36! It is a wonderful little river and area!

[@PADDLECAMPFISH]

Good stuff Pete! Looks like a lot of fun!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks Dirk! Once you taste whitewater, you are ruined forever!

[@mikeemmons4062]

Pete's skills are really developing quickly.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks Mike! I agree! It is so fun and encouraging to watch him eat it all up. Really looking forward to some trips we have planned this summer! Sunday's Video is even better. He ran the big stuff at the top complete with a rock splat, rock spin and boof at Sammy's Rock...even placing a boof stroke off the lip and stuck a stroke at the bottom to power out of the hole...Soooo cool.

[@mikeemmons4062]

@@RiverKingsKayak In a previous video I was impressed by his form on catching eddys. Before you know it, he'll be the River King.

[@benjaminmorris1424]

Is there something like this in WNC?

[@FeWolf]

Awesome Job of Check Back, if you would be so kind and put put-in and take out location, i would love to run this.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks Scott!

[@1stVARifleman]

Hey just an opinion question, if you were going to buy a 9ft creeker/racer would you buy a Jackson Nirvana, Dagger Phantom, or Liquid Logic Alpha 90? I'm leaning Nirvana because of my experience in my Zen 2, but the Phantom is starting to grow on me, and I don't know enough about the Alpha 90 but like the looks of it and MSRP. My biggest runs so far have been Goshen Pass, Ocoee, and New River Gorge. But I'm looking to step it up another notch.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Hey again 1stVARifleman! That is a tough question. Paddling style, desired feel, your size...Truthfully any of them would work. The individual preference is something that makes it all fun. I would recommend trying to demo all of them in real paddling conditions. That is easy to do at the USNWC btw...

[@adventurekid9242]

are you going to put the water temperature in next week's video?

[@RiverKingsKayak]

yes!

[@bobmarlowe3390]

Did y'all run this today? Was the powerplant pumping?

[@RiverKingsKayak]

This was last Saturday. It was pumping. We also went yesterday and they were generating again.

[@BladePressure]

Social Distancing?

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Yes of course! ;)
