Kayak Safety Video

Post by Fish » Thu Dec 08, 2011 5:14 pm

Safety Tip: to paddle your kayak safely, just do the exact opposite of everything these Russian guys do:

Seriously, do not try this stuff at home.

In Soviet Russia, river paddle you!

Well, their technique has world wide impact. Shaun shows the wrong way to solo Cossatot falls at high water:

We might need to watch this in our Level 5 SWR workshop this weekend. Lesson #1: Never paddle with Russians.

I think so. I just saw Ryan's video in another thread and that's the same paddlers. Only they're more open with the vodka in this one.

Vodka, moonshine, are we really all that different?

I like these guys' style - they aren't editing out the bloopers just to make themselves look good. No Sir; they're showing us the real deal, and willing to laugh along with us.

I was ready to party with these guys. :beer2:

Until that pole dancing thing at the end. Now I'm not so sure. :ROFL:

Cowper, have you seen any Team Stupid videos? If we edited out the bloopers there'd just be footage of us driving to the creek and back.

Got this from another msg board.

Here is what I think is the same crew but on a really nice low water creek run that makes me think the Latvians were spoofing us on the other video
