This video has convinced me that I need to go R1 some shit. Got an old ass original Puma from CL for a couple hundos and she thirsty. Sweet video

[@whitewaterjazz]

Yakwards Man. Hell yeah! Thank you brother! I hope it's inspired you to get out there and R1 as much as possible! Those original Pumas are the best!You definitely have the right boat! Take her for a ride down some steep creek! Let me know if you ever need advice! Thank you for watching!!

Sick shit guys! I finally got a Puma, but I don’t have the balls for this yet 😅

[@whitewaterjazz]

Awesome! You got it! It is such a fun run and the Aire Puma is a great Raft!

[@scottybeegood]

[@whitewaterjazz]

[@whitewaterjazz]

Thanks dude! Haha Flipped off the Puma peeling out of the eddy. Definitely did not see that coming!

[@steelyeyedguy]

Looking at getting a Puma snd putting a frame on it

[@whitewaterjazz]

That would be super cool!

[@jeremygiddens1350]

Is all of this filmed on the Nantahala?

[@whitewaterjazz]

Yes. This section is above the upper Nantahala.

[@chrissnyder4144]

What was the cfs in this vid?

[@whitewaterjazz]

It was on a higher release date with a slight extra flow. I believe @425 - 500 CFS

[@chrissnyder4144]

@@whitewaterjazz is it possible to raft it at 350 cfs?

[@whitewaterjazz]

Yes! Absolutely. I'm sure you can raft @250. But @350 is a perfect level.
