POV White Water Kayaking Raw Footage (Humbling Experience)

Description

My first time white water kayaking.

We rented inflatable, sit on top kayaks, or "Duckies"

The river we paddled was the American River in Auburn California.

Kyle and I had a blast, learning the ropes on the tame section of the river, then we switched to the fun part :)

I bailed once near the end and it shook me up a bit, it was a real eye opener in cold water immersion.

There is some raw, undedited footage starting right before I get tossed out of my boat, I wanted to leasve it raw to really show the timing, and my real reactions.

Hope you guys enjoy this video, it was shot on my trip to visit Kyle in California this past July.

Thanks.
