Love this, and a great effort! Paddling whitewater is not easy and you were brave. Shout our to the dutch athletes too!

Thanks! Definitely not easy, but above all: LOADS of FUN! And definitely big shout to the Dutch athletes. Only showcases their incredible fitness and skill. What should we have added to the video according to you? Or maybe for a next video.

They were a bit mean giving you that boat, something with a bit more volume like a Pyrhana Machno would have made your life a lot easier

Appreciate the support💪 Though I did not know better. Super grateful for them to lend out their Kayak Cross boat. Just for understanding, this was 3 weeks out until the start of the Olympic Games. The only boats they had with them were their actual race boats. Imagine that I would destroy their carbon boats (which I, by the way, could also not fit in haha)😟 Do appreciate your support for giving me a better attempt! 🧡💪 What's your favorite event to watch: Canoe Slalom or Kayak Cross?

That was pretty good for a first go

1:08 dude, welcome to my world. Kayaks have gotten so much smaller than when I was super active in the sport. Of course riding mt bikes a lot has also made my legs a bit bigger than they used to be 30 years ago! Old school pro tip - never put a pure novice in a small boat unless your looking for entertainment. 😂

Haha yeah. The struggle of tall people now extended beyond airplanes, trains, and cars into Kayak boats

the boat definitely affected the performance, but great job out there🎉 Whitewater ayaking is really not that easy as people think.

Haha, nice. Brave from you, to go in the channel.

🚀🚀 Keep it going!

I dunno. The gingerbread with Tabasco doesn't sound half bad. (Then again, I put Tabasco on lots of things.)

😂😂 Haha, you may be right. The real punishment was the completely dry gingerbread. I guess the Tabasco and mustard kind of made it less worse. What would be a better punishment food/sauce in your opinion for a potential next video?

@@CuriousMick Anything involving horseradish or a similar condiment might be a place to start.

what a stitch up. an appropriate kayak would have helped.

Haha, it was definitely a challenge, but their large-size carbon boats would have still made it a real struggle. The balance is an impressive skill of these athletes. Thanks for the support for giving me a better attempt though!🧡💪
