Can't find phenomenal Gauley footage and commentary-help?

Post by kayakmamma » Wed Oct 19, 2011 8:14 pm

Howdy, a short while ago I found an awesome bunch of information on the Gauley. A man (who seemed to be a rafter) carefully and extensively filmed the rapids of the Gauley, giving great commentary, warnings, etc. He did not just film rafts, but hard shell boaters too and some river boarders. He filmed at several different CFS levels. The information was extremely well organized. The videotogropher had a unique voice and was quite funny, and very positive.
Does anyone know about this? I thought I accessed it through ACC, or maybe AW, but I sure can't find it now! :? Help me please!

Thanks! Lorraine McPhee

This guy is on Youtube with 79 videos covering the lower and upper Gauley with great footage and info...and he does have a unique voice...not sure if it's what you found before, but he has a lot of good stuff! :drool2:

Lorraine -

If you are looking for the carnage video, this is old but here goes:

If you are looking for the informational video, there's the videos and the word descriptions of every rapid on upper and lower Gauley:

You all are the best! Super helpful. This is it- the exceptional footage/descriptions I was looking for, and it is the same guy on the YouTube videos. Thank you so much!! The carnage video is HILARIOUS. Is the Gauley powerful, of what? Insane. Have you run it?

The website is awesome...I finally named the rapids in all of the helmet cam videos. A buddy and I went to Gauleyfest in September, but we only did the lower (which is pretty much the top of my game) and was the biggest water I've ever paddled. I'm pretty sure I would have died if I ran the upper :wht:

The video boater in the youtube clips is Ken Kruger. Awesome boater, really cool guy who works for ACE. Believe it or not, also quite the skilled musician, you can check out his website here ---->http://www.kenkruger.com/
