I have to say, "That was a very close call." I just goes to show how easy it could be to lose everything over a fall with a submerged tree. Keep safe Bren

That waterfall footage is some of the best I have seen. Certainly in the UK. I know it feels like pressure is always on to get the edit and get it out... but take time to breath and tell the story. Don't forget that for some of your audience this will be the first time that they have seen these classics. Few kayakers have the wider storytelling skills that you have Bren....just want to see more!!

@@Senders What was the name of the waterfall you guys went down

Welsh kayaking is renowned for submerged trees! Have a scout and try and skip out 😄Highlighting the dangers of what lies beneath the surface is definitely necessary and it baffles me how many of us don’t take it into consideration! It’s so so so important to have a wealth of experience and knowledge of all aspects of white water within the group! Kayaking is an amazing sport that takes you to some of the most beautiful places! I’ve had my fair share of near misses and thanks to a very wise middle aged kiwi based kayakers advice I’ve managed to enjoy this beautiful sport and make some good decisions along the way! Fair play Chips if your not feeling it there’s no shame! That’s also something the up and comers need to see 👍 The great thing about these little edits is that they are full of experiences that are not over exaggerated when talked about in the pub after with your buddies 😉 And most importantly they contain information that we many can learn from and could possibly help reduce the chances of someone else having a near miss! Nice Edit, keep up the good work and be safe out there boys and girls

Amazing as always Bren! Submerged trees are always on my mind at waterfalls...LOL...this wont help! ha ha ha!

getting caught under a tree, is scary. I was sucked under one, and the water was so powerful. Glad you made it out alright and hope the back is alright

Cheers mate, bit unpleasant but thankfully all good here :)

That expression on Henry's after running that first waterfall face was priceless! You guys had way too much fun there: my hands are itching to go paddling again, but the water levels here are atrocious for what is supposed to be our main kayaking season! Glad to hear that you managed to get out from underneath that tree: that sounds like a potentially deadly situation. Just goes to show that we can never be too careful when it comes to scouting and guessing what risks might be hidden under water!
