Relaxing Day of Kayak River Touring // 17 Miles of River

Come along as Steve and I enjoy a beautiful day with a relaxing day of river touring in our kayaks. We do 4 sections of the Haw River, as it winds its way to Jordan Lake. We do the Upper-Upper, Upper, Middle and Lower Haw sections with one portage at Bynum Dam. #longboatsmatter

[@lizard2425]

WEIRD! At first I thought your deck compass was some kind of animal. I swear I saw it move! 😅😂😁😂🤪

[@RiverKingsKayak]

@@RiverKingsKayak awesome. Thanks!

[@GTN355]

A lot of negative strokes there buddy! ;) P.S. : Do you have any tips for people with a "bigger than average" head when it comes to choosing a helmet ?? To give you an idea about what I am looking for : Shoei X1000R in size XXXL which covers sizes larger than 62/63 so helmets from Sweet/WRSI/NRS for example are not an option... If I can't find a helmet that fits then I can't do any whitewater either this summer! :(

[@RiverKingsKayak]

LOL!!! Calling me out! I love it! 14.5' in manky shallow water = negative strokes! I couldn't even come close to doing all that with no negative strokes! I had a friend that bought a BMX style helmet. I never looked it over, but he claimed it worked perfectly.

[@GTN355]

@@RiverKingsKayak Hmm... I replied earlier but for some reason the reply is gone now ?! Anyways... Do you happen to know what the brand was of that helmet ? In the meantime I have started e-mailing all the well known brands and receiving a lot of NOPE.AVI answers, but most of them told me they will look into expanding the sizes of helmets that they are offering so **fingers crossed** as they say :)

[@danocampbell3599]

But where is the Grizzly?

[@RiverKingsKayak]

too many tight spots for the Grizzly!

[@tntdoug2175]

If you know of anyone in the need of a right side of an RPC3 220 touring paddle let me know. I had broken the left blade and contacted them about a replacement. They are no longer in production. I can send it to you.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Dang!

[@tntdoug2175]

Yea, worse part is that it wasn't my fault. I purchased the 220 performance paddle as a replacement. Upgrades!

[@timmcdaniels7083]

There are lookalikes without the RCP3 logos on them on ebay and other import sites.

[@jam7547]

Pete do you have what you would call your home river

[@garycousino]

Gotta be the Haw

[@RiverKingsKayak]

I live on Haw Creek which feeds into the Haw River less than a mile from my property...so it would have to be the Haw. But in terms of a quality whitewater river, I would say Wilson Creek...it is the closest good river to me and I end up there a lot.

[@jam7547]

@@RiverKingsKayak sounds good i play with the Tuck and nantahala and little Tennessee

[@jam7547]

is there a site or app i can install to show the average of a river .i use river app to see what a river is running (cfs ) for that day
