Masterful, understated technique demonstrations from Nick, as we have long become used to (thanks Justine!). The Menai Strait is quite the playground! Would love to spend a vacation on it!

[@barryb8365]

Well Done Nick, so nice to watch you smoothly maneuver in those waters!!

[@victoriage]

Love the music. Love the edit. cool video around an iconic bridge

[@billmiller1532]

Superb paddling technique and nice water!

[@jonr5512]

I watch a lot of kayaking videos and very rarely comment. But I had to say that was fantastic paddling Nick. As someone else said, masterful and understated. I can't remember enjoying another video as much as this for quite a while! And the music really is fine - it doesn't get in the way and I thought it suited the pace and flow of the water. Subscribed!

Thanks so much for the comment Jon it means a lot when people take the time. Hope you’ve had so good paddling this season.

[@evanburgeson]

[@adventuresportresources]

We look forward welcoming you back one day soon, Nikolaj

[@johnhefford137]

Almost spilt my tea edging with you, note to self don't drink tea whilst lounge kayaking, upsets the wife.

[@TheDcrocks1]

[@adventuresportresources]

Great to hear Gail. Hopefully see you on the water at some point.

[@kayasper6081]

Lovely! Floating and playing around, I really enjoyed the video, I will share it with my Spanish friends. Barry showed me the Swellies, would love to return.

[@adventuresportresources]

I still owe you a video Jasper - this week!

[@mattkayaker5084]

That looks a good workout

[@IamNothing82]

Thatcher looks fun to do!! Wish we had something like that in the netherlands.

[@jakebrakebill]

Nice in every way, most of all crystal clear. Wonder how the arms and shoulders feel after ?

[@nelsondavidalvarezgarcia3220]

pure technique, wauu, excellent.

[@MobiliaRepairs]

That video was a thing of beauty, the way you handled the water! Amazing! My only constructive criticism would be to leave the video with the natural sound because that music was starting to grate. Brilliant though! Brave man

[@adventuresportresources]

Thank you! We rushed to post the video today and, honestly, the music sucks. We'll repost with some other audio. Inside the waterproof case, the natural sound was pretty muffled. We appreciate the feedback!

[@citizenwolf8720]

Jeez, terrifying. I'm imagining myself trying to handle that. omg.....

[@nigg2811]

Marginally sped-up in action sequences?... But fair do's... big Spring tide, totally full-on... lots of skill and power on display. Really impressive!

[@adventuresportresources]

Hey Big G, no speeding up here but thanks for the comments its a really cool venue.

[@nigg2811]

@@adventuresportresources Excellent training location in preparation for paddling the bigger races. But as you demonstrate, in peak flow/big Springs it demands well honed skills in its own right.

[@JayDeeKayaker]

Kewl video of a gorgeous playground! Thanks for sharing! Considering the many (semi-)submerged obstacles, you probably want to be very familiar with the location at a lower tide. Is that a Gemini SP?

[@venusway9]

😍😍😍👍

[@ridethecircle]

Sweet play area! Is this going to be on the box van tour?

[@adventuresportresources]

Definitely Chris! We can wash off the jet lag here before heading for the west coast!

[@evanburgeson]

What camera mount are you using?
