Kayaking The Lower James at 4.1ft (17 AUG 2024)

For context as you watch:

I consider myself to be a novice to intermediate whitewater kayaker. The videos I produce are intended to document my journey in the sport and self-critique. However, I don't mind if you get some entertainment out of them in the process.

That being said...

This video NOT for instructional use as I am still learning and sometimes make mistakes. Please do not assume what I (or anyone else featured in this video) do is the most correct or even correct at all. Although I wear all appropriate safety gear and try to practice good risk assessment to mitigate poor outcomes, I am bound to miss something here and there. I am not a professional.

I hope you enjoy the video!
