Thanks 👍

That was a fun one to watch. Last time I was on Big Creek was about 25 years ago in a Pyranha Micro. We did that in the morning, then caught Ramsey Cascades in the afternoon. Fun, steep, day.

Yeah, you can knock those both out in a day with the right water levels

Man, I'd paddle with you anytime. So many over-the-shoulder checks on your partners coming through behind you. Great lines and a great video! That move you made right at 2:59 was gorgeous, I'd have tried for a lot more left-hand angle and then a hard turn to the right, but the way you did it popped you right out with the perfect angle for the next move.

Yeah on these small creeks I’m very concerned pins and strainers I know about where all the spots are and it’s so easy to just zone out and paddle and someone pins or is under a tree and your way downstream and can see them not safe so I try to just do a quick glance back every rapid make sure all good before dropping into the next

One of the best Big Creek videos I've seen. Nice grab and go. Stout wading.

Dude I said that same thing to these 2 on the walk up I was like with this creek it can go bad very fast and my buddy Brian is a phenomenal boater and I was like he got locked upside down under a tree out here and was very bad so let’s keep eye on each other and stay slow and easy through these top rapids I was shocked how many new trees were out there but was all good

That's a really cool steep drop after drop creek you all are running. What creek and where is that? Sweet lines, well done.

That's a good a test as any for a steep, rocky SE creek and we know people are going to run the Indra down everything. Would the Code have been better?

@WadeHarrison

2 ай бұрын

The Code eats this stuff up. Where I feel the Indra fell short was the front bow would get knocked off line when hits rocks. Can make it work but the code was built for this🥳

Thoughts on it as a creeker? Looked like the rocker came in handy

@WadeHarrison

2 ай бұрын

The rocker and wide bow definitely helped it

Very reminiscent of some of my local creeks, sweet looking run and the Indra seemed to get down there really nicely. What is that run called?

@@WadeHarrison Ahhhhhh so thats Big Creek! I know the name, didn't get it when I was over there back in 2010, but it looks like I missed out on a treat!

So for this type of run in particular would you say Code > Scorch > Indra? I’ll hang up and listen.

Yeah was just right there

Did you have to tape an index on your paddle? For $500, it didn't even come with one? Can you go over why you prefer straight shaft over bent shaft? I know paddle tricks are much easier, but I'm talking about in river running.
