Thanks Josh!

Getting good at gaging the low water video, called it before the end. Nailed it. Need some higher water so I can learn those lines🤓

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Right on! Unfortunately, I can't turn the water level up LOL! In a drought, you take what you can get! The lines are mostly the same though...

[@PurelyRecreational.]

That's awesome! Hunter is a good sport. Any chance the footage from his headbutt cam is floating around???

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Indeed Patrick! He posted the footy on Facebook!

[@The66Leadfoot]

Awesome run!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks 66!

[@davebishop2566]

Tannins are awesome. The rain and snow leach out the sap from pine needles in the forest and turn the rivers into pine tea. What is your favorite paddle?

[@RiverKingsKayak]

rivers of pine tea! I love it! I have used a Werner Sherpa for over a decade...Lately I have moved from carbon bent shaft to carbon straight shaft as I always felt the bent shaft place my hands just a bit further apart than I naturally wanted to hold it...

[@davebishop2566]

@@RiverKingsKayak Wisconsin rivers are have that tannin. Wyoming and Montana rivers are a milky turquoise. Sherpa is a medium.

Great stuff as always! Thanks for sharing!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks Matt!

[@davebishop2566]

There is a wave in Canon City on the Arkansas like that. Great place to have some fun.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Right on Dave!

[@troybennington3479]

Another negative 9 run? Still looks great.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks Troy!

[@jasonwalker7166]

It will force your friends to bring their ropes out sometimes.....

[@RiverKingsKayak]

he he he!!

[@danaharris5357]

This looks like a lot of fun! What level was this?

[@RiverKingsKayak]

-9ish

[@jailen461]

Hi Pete. Gott a question for you. I'm a lefty. How do you rebag your rope after using it. I did it, let my buddy use the rope and when he threw it,,, it got tangled and didn't make it to the next guy.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

I pull the rope over my shoulder and into the bag. A tangled throw rope is a no go...

[@DownstreamV]

Yeehaw!!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks Matt!

[@absoluteelectricandmainten7432]

Hey Pete, Is P5 doing OK? Missed seeing him on this run

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Yes! This was a Monday, so he was in school...

[@ddistrtt]

What pfd is that with the front pocket for the throw rope?

[@RiverKingsKayak]

That is my old original Astral Green Jacket. A lot of rescue vests have that capability...

[@troybennington3479]

Do you run that all winter?

[@RiverKingsKayak]

We do troy!
