West Fork Tuck - Mini Gorge to Takeout // WOR Release

[@philoulabroche2808]

😮 Hi Pete. What a descent! As they say at home, it's awesome! Not to mention the first part in the gorge. Great achievement! Congratulations to the entire River Kings group! 👏

Thanks!

Watching this makes me want to get back into white water. Been about 20 years. I’ve just got the touring boat now, but man, would love to feel that rush again.

do it Chris!

[@justinjjlee]

Thanks for clearing that path, we definitely used it on my PFD the past Saturday!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Right on Justin! Congrats!!

You guys put the work in for this one!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

It was totally worth it!

[@thomasdoll7446]

I know this is the west fork but I've been told by a few ppl that outside of the local piedmont NC runs that the Tuckaseegee is a great step up can't wait to run it sooner than later! That mini gorge looks like a blast though!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Definitely work up to this one. The Tuck Gorge is a much better place to start.

I've commented on your west tuck videos before... I caretake the property from 20:00 - 21:00 river right. If there is a way we can get together the next time you run this I'd be happy to give you guys a taxi in exchange for some rescue beta. I'd likely be helping on a team that does rescue in this area, or have shared what I know with them. Hard to trust randoms on the internet I know but this is about helping you guys out.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

We should be able to work something out. send me a message at [e-mail]

Ran it Saturday, what a fun run

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Right on Johnny!

George, George,George of the jungle…..watch out for that tree😅😅😅

LOL

[@philoulabroche2808]

Hardware question. Are these protections that you wear on your forearms? To protect yourself from what and in what circumstances exactly?

[@RiverKingsKayak]

they are elbow pads. rocks and elbows dont play well together

[@philoulabroche2808]

@@RiverKingsKayak 🤣🤣 This confirms what I thought! Otherwise, regarding the route, class III overall and IV for the gorge which you only did in pairs, right?

[@vernwalkin5445]

That sure is fast moving water

[@RiverKingsKayak]

The top half of the river is even faster!

[@HanzgohFilms]

What was the grey box hanging over the river...?

[@RiverKingsKayak]

I think it was a feeder for trout.
