Kayaking down the KaiserKlamm at flood stage!

Huge day on the Brandenberg river close to Innsbruck!
Kayaked down the river as it was flooding, at 190cm on the guage, which we think is the highest descent. It was so sick in there (05 Sick counter).

Holy cow, that was sick!!! I can't imagine the actual size of that hole, it always looks smaller from above and on camera.

[@caliberto5087]

...good job!! One of my favourite kayak video. A fast creek, big water and nice people.

[@Senders]

thanks for watching mate!

[@epincion]

Fantastic stuff, thanks. Surprisingly free of trees, branches and other floating stuff which you usually see in flood waters.

[@walthanas]

I thoroughly enjoyed running the Kaiserklamm of the Brandenberger Ache, despite having torn several muscles in my thigh the day before, after a rescue on the flooded Inn went horribly wrong. Still, there was considerably less water in it back then and I had difficulties recognising the rapids! :-) That was a very impressive hole, that you guys considered not being worth the risk running. Good to see that cool minds and safety consciousness prevail! Thank you for sharing!

[@russellayton6408]

Wow, impressive in many ways. That canyon is beyond beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

[@eyeswideopen935]

Good GRIEF! I'm a surfer/sk8er and an appreciator of extreme sports, but I hadn't checked kayaking in a minute - I just randomly found your Zambezi vid, watched it and was mind blown, and then this one came up in the rotation! Unreal!! Frothing!! Subbed!!!! Awesome video, beats , everything 😻🙉😻

[@Gundus1000]

Beautiful Austria.

[@davehumpleby3440]

Hyper Drive boating! Features coming thick and fast. You guys must have cat-like reflexes. Pushing the envelope but glad to see you guys are sensible when it gets ridiculous out there. Great video.

[@janjan8752]

such a great video ! so much joy watching it

[@retiredguy7273]

You guys are boaters from another world. Fantastic footage and skills, thank you.

[@Matkatamiba]

I like the commentary over the top of the clips. Just insane rapids

[@vojtechcervenka40]

Oh god, just imagine swimming in there at these flows. Sjit.

[@hedwig1939]

Epic 🎉 Thanks for this highlight !!

[@ronactive]

Another great video with spectacular rides. Also nice to see that there is a Drago Rossi here. Best regards ronactive

[@stephenhunt6253]

Damn!! That first canyon was a full-on mosh-pit!

[@ThatOldGuyYouKnow]

I enjoyed the explanation part of the video. Would you be able to more? Specifically about how to progress to more advanced whitewater? I know others have done this already, however, I thoroughly enjoy your explanations Bren. As always, sick paddling and can't wait for the next edit!

[@Senders]

Definitely, cheers for the suggestion mate!

[@maximeturenne6007]

Yes Bren, it is SICK!

[@mtgne5351]

Goosebumps!

[@VoltaDoMar]

That was so sick! You guys are crazy

[@georgianstancovici3412]

The black DRX kayak looks slick!

[@aaronpahler5410]

Absolutely Crazy!

[@woodandwaveskayaks]

The river always looks smaller/easier on video than it actually is. However, this still looks massive and scary af!!

[@deepak-dhankhar]

Dayymn guys!! That's "so sick", I don't know what level is this?!

[@j.montgomery1219]

Awesome music! And outstanding boating of course. What songs were these? Y’all are legends. I’ve got SEND on all my boats. 🙌🏾

[@rogerchristmas9606]

Great content.Good job of giving me a lay of river.Balls, really Big balls.

[@levirhodes8041]

That canyon was beatiful! Great paddling dudes!

[@Senders]

Cheers mate! Look forward to shredding with you one day!

[@xXBRiNABOO619Xx]

EPIC Video brotha!

[@marcozanettialfier1978]

This is spectacular but very dangerous!

[@DiscosVideos]

Sweet! Were you in a medium or large Scorch? And what was that black boat?

[@laurenceelgar5979]

wow just wow. nice run looks sketchy

[@Mikeyboofboof]

Commitment and confidence to get on that in those levels. Awesome boating-looks like you guys had an absolute blast!

[@paulipuhakka8788]

What an awesome vid, and run! Well done boys, thanks a shit loads! Cheers and beers 🍺🍺🍺🍺to ya from the mountains of British Columbia 🇨🇦 Cheers guys 👍

[@Stomperproductions]

Back in 5 to watch the rest. Just shat my pants watching the first gorge

[@thatsounditmakes9177]

Bren: the best way to run a flooded River? Me: don't?

[@chrisbean4610]

New balance sneakers is how I run it

[@nick_401]

So sick. This river looks fun to me with low water lvls, but completely flooded... just savage!

[@ahilbilyredneksopinion]

Holy cow,that looks like something i might be scared to do...I'll have to try it as soon as I can.

[@MrMilk22]

Sick video! Quick question: Do those SurfEars keep all the water out of your ears? Or just most. I have a perforated eardrum and am going on a river trip on the Yampa in Colorado in a month. Thinking I need a pair of those.

[@sendinit6413]

You guys all sent it . That was sick

[@tropicalterrarium1742]

That looks disorienting and like an absolute rush. Stay safe out there.

[@andrewniven676]

Fair doos boys 🤘

Sick!!!

[@lordofnothing.]

so sick.

[@big1dog23]

Emperor's Gorge. Aptly named. Well done.

[@DFSchappell]

Were you paddling a medium scorch?

[@parapentefun]

I have no clue about kayaking but that looks dodgy, and loads of fun!

[@fudgebrownie3]

Appreciate seeing kayakers filming how they choose not to run a dangerous rapid

[@dirksilbernagel2003]

Yes, that was a really high water level you got there. I know that creek very well. It is really challenging to to ride it on this water level. Good job!

[@robcoffey8871]

Sick skills. For those who don't understand whitewater the power and compressed water make this incredibly dangerous

[@aidenmein9952]

Bren is it sick just wondering if you can confirm or not

[@MrCosmonot1]

That river looks so sick! Especially with sick the crazy high flow. Sick rowdy footy. I was also expecting the sick counter to be higher! Slackin :P Would have been sick if it had hit 20! Do you have footage of this at normal flow? It'd be sick to see it normal and then watch this to see how it changes and gets sicker

[@normalisntcomingback.Jesusis]

Take a shot every time this tool says "sick" smh

[@mikefamex8405]

WOW!

[@kwrprofessionalvlogs2414]

I really like it🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@FullMoonHatch]

sick

[@cheskybaba4864]

Bren, has anyone ever had a log come up and smack them? I always think of that when I see them floating downstream.

[@elitephotography9539]

I enjoyed the video nice frm india

[@ramdas363]

I'm wondering why you run so close to each other in the upper part where there's no way to stop or get out. I'd have thought it would make more sense to leave a bit of space when everyone's on their own anyway.

[@justbecause3187]

Probably so they can see each other and also get the footage. There is likely also a tendency for them to group up closer together as the ones that are following have the advantage of following the lines of the ones ahead, but they did get a little close for comfort at one point 2:00 .

[@ramdas363]

@@justbecause3187 "a little close for comfort at one point 2:00" Yeah, that's the part that got me thinking. I'm only a beginner so it may be inexperience but when I run a difficult stretch I don't want to be that close to another kayak, then I'd worry about hitting them in addition to focusing on the river, it's super distracting. I see the pros do this a lot in videos, you're probably right about it being about getting good footage.

[@wyattevans4791]

What was the cfps of the river? 😳

[@ericanderson923]

gNar entering

[@annesenn491]

so sick! no swimming allowed!

[@cordellhollingsworth1817]

Did anyone else notice that the “sick” counter was off at the end? Should’ve been 4x sick. All the same, it’s pretty sick video!

[@Senders]

Maths is not my strongpoint… cheers for watching!

I wanted to hear the power of the water...

[@misteriozni8568]

hey bro, im looking forward to start with kayaking, but how to start practicing for proffesional sport kayaking? thank you :)

[@matejhosner1980]

Just don't. Go extreme like these guys. First off - do a swift water rescue course. And learn a 100% combat roll.

[@kensei1972]

Did he say" hit it with speed"? Was there any other choice?

[@Senders]

Ha, for sure. Easy to tighten up and paddle defensively and slow better to be aggressive and take some strokes before you hit the bigger features in there

[@Nikkohector]

Some people live life at a different level.

[@rightyouareken7587]

My adrenaline pumping while watching in bed. Holy s I can only imagine

[@c1p8OLJS]

Funny..😱

[@rahulbhandari2115]

From which age you started kayaking

[@Senders]

9 years

[@AtortAerials]

Do a lot of people drown kayaking? This is serious flows I know but still anything can happen even if experienced.

[@rappinron1384]

Sick, as in cool, not COVID.

[@mayrbmx]

Which water-level ??? sick

[@Senders]

190cm

[@grumpy-dad3701]

Out for a gently leisurely kayak.

I'm sat watching thinking how do you not die in that!

[@Senders]

Keep calm, save your energy for when you really need it

[@kdh7275]

Even if they're crazy you gotta respect the nerve of these adrenaline junkies

[@CarlosPerez-kn7gn]

I can barely kayak in a calm lake 😂😂😂 I would die in that river

[@fatreality]

2:05 holy shit that water on the right looks crazy as fuck

[@David-kg1hc]

Terrifying.

[@DFSchappell]

That's a nail biter

[@lorentosi]

a swim there is fatal almost for sure

[@thetigerstripes]

Great. Now I'm going to have dreams about drowning at the bottom of a narrow, flooded, canyon.

[@Senders]

There are scarier things to dream about. Like the tax man…

[@Petrosilius]

Smart call to cancel that one place

[@scottybeegood]

Hey diddle diddle down the middle

[@RobertFairweatherMusic]

Good kayaking...edits on video not so much.

[@goji059]

loool

[@untilIcolapse]

Just a quick editing note, at 7:45 the music is building up with fast forward video. It seems like you're gonna hit a major rapid but it then cuts to Adrian. A bit anticlimatic. Great video though!

[@gebholddolten3247]

Your live ist boring? Try to work!

[@johnsy59]

Great paddling but your choice of music sux lol

[@Senders]

Simon Cowell is that you watching one of my kayaking videos? Wow. I can’t wait to tell my mum

[@DFSchappell]

@@Senders the music was actually awesome. It was perfect... don't listen to Simon

[@dominicmeehan8322]

Ok...had to switch off at sick counter#3...

[@johnniewalker6236]

Looks more like drowning to me, one wrong turn at the wrong place and no one can help u
