My goal as I just got into kayaking this year is to go to WOR in 2025. I didn't know Pete spoke spanish :)
Nice boom
I wonder what a stern squirt would look like with that on?🤔
I tried to make one using pvc, thinking it would bend instead of breaking. Unfortunately, pvc isn't stiff enough to hold an action camera lol. Definitely going to be making one of these. Thank you for sharing pete!
Safe travels! I know the feeling although I’ve gotten lately where I don’t like driving more than an hour for a boat… Which is why I made my stepson go on a six hour round-trip drive to go get a mad river canoe for me a couple months ago lol… I did pay him for his time at least 😂 Well can’t wait to see this boat, Pete!
Nice video Pete, good mix of solid advice and sense. in a calm manner. Looks like a nice river for mere mortals rather than the terrorizing water you see on some videos. Great work, keep it up !
Cool build!
Been almost 18 years since I've done section 4. Your videos are great. Thanks for the memories.
Say hi to Woody next time you see him
OG paddler from the Perception days. did something wish I had done many years ago. GGs
Sorry I missed it! Love DIY stuff. This one leaves me with a question though. Why did you build this one differently than the one on Nana? Just to build it (I would do it for the sake of doing it too!) or does it give an advantage over the Ram Mount on Nana?
So much good information in your videos. I literally had a panic attack just watching Bonnie (I think was her name) flip over. I honestly have zero interest in paddling rapids, but I am trying to be prepared for unexpected things I may encounter on a river. Thank you for making these!
Does James have a channel too?
Hey Pete, great video! I'll have to give that a try. I'm experimenting with different mounts and cameras (should probably make the videos to prove it) and I was wondering if you've tried using 360 camera with that mount. I bet it would give you some great footage. Out of idle curiosity, does that mount pose any danger with preventing a roll in a sort of shallow situation or is it so short that you wouldn't be able to roll anyway? I dont yet have the skills to do white water, I am just wondering. I saw you rolling in the beginning of the video, so it looks like theres no interference for a normal situation. Keep up the great work!
Cool idea cheers Pete
Thanks AKM!
@@RiverKingsKayak what if you install a spring in the top half incase you roll or it gets hit? Or like a tension spring on some tent poles etc.
Nice video Pete! I was waiting for this one... can't wait to make my own camera mount! Thanks for sharing!
Right on!
Well Done. Thank you!
Thanks Brandon!
This is gold Pete. What would you say the total cost of materials was?
Probably about $35
Great work Pete. Enjoyed that build. Good idea been wondering how I could make my own camera mount. But I will steal yours if you don’t mind.
Thats the idea! Thanks!
Cool, thanks for sharing. The boom mount is contected to the grab bar similar to a spigot insulatation box that uses the spigot as an anchor (you tighten it so that it is tight to the house - similar to tightening the hook on a kayak)
Indeed!!
Awesome! I've been trying to figure something out for a couple of weeks. You just saved me a lot of trial and error(s ) 😃
Right on lizard!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Brad!
Dagumit! Missed the Premier.
Next week!
That is a sweet mount
Thanks Josh!
And that's how you roll, not swim. 🏊♂️ cool, refreshingly cool 😎
Thanks Josh!
Titus did amazing 👏 he's a natural & you are a great teacher 👍
For sure! He is a natural! Thanks!
That was an amazing video! Do you do all the editing yourself?
Thanks Justin! Yes, I do all my own editing.
LoL how many people caught the fish jump? 😄
It is always fun to catch that on camera!
That's my home town shop. Bought my Wilderness Systems Aspire there. They are great people!
Right on Greg! such a cool store!
Hey so where did you start on French broad river I like to do it and come all the way to Asheville nc
We started in Rosman, NC
Way to always keep an eye on your crew! Great job!
Thanks Mike!
Big Bad Boofin Daddy 😆
LOL!
Same here. Have two of them. 🎉🎉. One of the perks of having a live in shuttle buddy
Congratulations 🎉
congrats! my son also just got his license last week. He loves to paddle but from time to time he mentions not having others his age to paddle with. Maybe we can paddle together sometime and enjoy having our new shuttle drivers.
Great video bro!
Thanks!
Who sings that beautiful song , “ hold me in your ares “
That is "Arms" by April Moon feat. Noomi Thorstensson
Pete, I love that you're always keeping an eye for your crew. Y'all try to keep the risks to a minimum, but you're not afraid to do what's necessary to help someone when things go sideways for them. The world needs a lot more people like yourself.
Thanks a ton! That is just how the whitewater community works!
I really enjoyed watching your video. Loved the camera perspective from your view rather than camera pointing at your face. So many utubers point the camera at themselves & us as viewers miss out on so much. We want to see what your seeing, So many beautiful views & exciting rapids! And you gave us that & more with the cool drone shots. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us 👍 ❤
Thanks a ton! I agree with you and especially so in my case...the less you see me the better the video! LOL. Im trying to bring the viewer along on the experience as well as document these trips for future me...the more of the trip I can see, the better!
Love the part when you guys are paddling in the rain & thunder : Pretty much my favorite kind of weather for paddling! Everything becomes totally different somehow... the nature... the animals... the smells... :) P.S. : I really need your help with something and have sent you an e-mail to the address you mentioned here a couple of times for PayPal usage : Did you get it ? My nickname is in the subject!
Indeed GTN355! It is a neat experience for sure!
Great vid as always!
Thanks K!
Man, what a two days!! I really hate I missed finishing out with you guys. Seeing FB9 (and the last day flow) really only minimally confirms my decision to bail. The stronger feeling is sadness from missing out, missing those views and especially missing you guys!! Y'all crushed it!! Great video as always, Pete! Love you guys and congrats to the new FB9 members!!! 👍💪🛶
lace those boots up Dan! We have work to do! Onward!
@@RiverKingsKayak Absolutely!! 💪
Another backyard hidden gem
for sure!
Great ideas as always, thanks. Helmets are also sensible if there are low branches or low bridges. Easy to get a nasty cut or scratch on your head or loose a fabric hat. Saws come in handy for branch clearance but also pose hazards of cuts or kick back of tensioned branches or loss/entrapment of the saw. How to safely cut your way past fallen trees from a kayak/canoe/sot/paddle board might be a good subject for a video?
good ideas!
I wouldn't mind camping on a French broad. LOL!
Hey Pete, what category rapids would you rate Frank Bell's, when you guys went through it?
AW has it at a 4
@@RiverKingsKayak Awesome
Epic!!
Thanks Rob!
