Thompson River Kayaking | 1-6-2024

This was my first time down Thompson after wanting it for a couple years. Thank you to Aaron Fay for the beta. We had a great time on this fantastic section.

It's cool to see all the lesser known rapids and get a fuller picture, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for taking the time to share this.

The Thompson is so beautiful! I can’t wait to PFD it when I come down south next time. It’s high on my list…. Slide City LOL 😂

Great video!!!! The music could have been a little more progressive to match the river.

[@curtismay3755]

I have very very limited music options with my editing software.

@@curtismay3755 I use epidemic sound man, it has tons, but there are a few other ones as well that have good music options too. Great run brother.

[@keylowge]

Which section of the big thompson?! That looks amazing, but out of my league for sure!

[@curtismay3755]

Not the Big Thompson. The Thompson in South Carolina.

Slide show, i love it :D

Good work men!!

[@DaveHyde]

that was insane

[@curtismay3755]

I prefer to think of it as adventurous. 😄

[@gordonbainbridge8371]

I assume that this is the Thompson River in British Columbia. Where is the section that you're running?

[@curtismay3755]

Negative. South Carolina.

[@gordonbainbridge8371]

@@curtismay3755 With KZbin it's good to assume you have a national audience. I live in the Pacific Northwest, and the Thompson in British Columbia is a major deal here. But your river is beautiful and would be great fun to paddle.

@@gordonbainbridge8371 With youtube, it's good to assume you have a worldwide audience........Typical American, never considers the existence of the world outside the US borders.....

[@gordonbainbridge8371]

@@chrisharris4740 Well, the paddlers are speaking English, their accents are clearly not English or European, they're paddling kayaks made in the US, and there are numerous Thompson Rivers in the US and Canada. So it's a reasonable guess that they're somewhere in North America.

What level was it at?

[@jairusstoudenmire3917]

What's the downside to Steven's creek boat? 🤔

[@curtismay3755]

Steven famously held out on ever paddling a creek boat. He ran a bunch of steep stuff in his half slices before finally giving in and buying a proper creek boat. This was the first time Jakob had seen him in a creek boat.

Where is the put in info, witch state?

[@curtismay3755]

Are you a class 5 kayaker?

[@SoggySocks86]

Holy shit your back must kill from dragging around such gigantic nuts. So awesome to see the Thompson from this angle. Thanks for sharing.

[@curtismay3755]

😂 They're normal size. If my back is gonna hurt from anything it would probably be from landing on all that rock.
