This is by far one of the best canoe vids I have watched yet. Wow looks like an awesome trip.

In the early 1990’s my husband and I drove from Connecticut to Newfoundland with our whitewater boats. My husband called Jim Price for some advice about rivers, and Jim invited us to run the Terra Nova with him and his friend Jamie. He checked us out on a small rapid near the camp site and the next day we ran the river. I walked a couple of drops and otherwise managed to remain upright in my OC-1. It was my most memorable day on a river. Jim came to visit us in Connecticut on his way south one time. We stayed in touch. I still cannot believe that he is no longer with us.

Many people feel the same way. Thanks for sharing.

Moving to the mouth of the Terra Nova from Ontario and I found this video as my introduction to the river! Absolutely love this film!

Thx so much for sharing this! the Terra Nova was my last whitewater run. It was a spontaneous day trip with Mark Dykeman, Mike Noftall, Mark (?) and me ...The water levels were super high and I still have a lumpy scar on my right ring finger where I bashed my hand when stuggling to adjust to the sheer strength of the river - I patched it up with duct-tape and went on. The highlight of the trip was Stuart's Staircase. The rooster tail pushed me river left, but I still made it down the backdoor upright! I was never so tired and exhilarated when we pulled out at Spencer's Bridge and Mike had the beer chilled. Appreciate the shout outs to the founders of the sport in NL - I had the privilege of working with Jim for 5 years and we always took our boats with us on work road trips (you wouldn't be allowed to do what we did these days...lol); he had infinite patience with a late-beginner - but he'd tell you straight! Also, how may times would Mark flash by and say something like 'never thought you'd be doing this, eh?' as we surfed waves off the southern shore. good memories brought back by a great video. thx! Anna Myers (better remembered as Anna Buffinga)

In the comfort of my living room, I was leaning, bracing, backpaddling and shouting "Oh ****!! Great video!

Thank you for making the film and posting it. It is a fitting tribute to Jim Price. I was fortunate enough to paddle this stretch twice with Jim and Mark Dykeman and thoroughly enjoyed seeing the river again and following your story.

Just wondering, did you consult any locals if these spots you are naming already had names? Some likely of historical significance.

loved the video guys...from a rescue background...at 17 :15 the fellow with the throw rope definatly needed another body to help anchor...impossible to hold back the ton or more of pressure exerted by the boat in that current. Awesome trip though...keep em coming!

When are we going back !!? ;P

beautiful river, lots of technical rapids, near the limit of the boats I would guess.

Hi Denis. I can't recall exactly but probably about 30 or 40 minutes. There is a pool below the rapid where 10% of the water goes over a big drop. 90% chance it ends up in an eddy. We were 90% lucky. Lol

If I see another crossbow stroke l’ll scream.

Richard, Did you run the falls at Starlight and into Spring Pool?

@NewfoundlandKayakCompany

5 жыл бұрын

No we didn't. We carried around that falls and Big Falls down from the community of Terra Nova. We ran everything in between. The falls you mention has been run in whitewater kayak but it is not "Tamden Canoe Friendly" Not even realistic to try it in a tandem canoe.

I have no idea how or why this film has so few views.
