manitoubass2 Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 If I worked for GoPro, I'd be making an offer on this footage to run as a superbowl commercial. This video was insane, and man was he lucky! Can't wait to get my camera for next season!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenboater Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 That was awesome! Lucky he didn't get hurt (I love the term "Maytagging" !!) and the footage from his camera was great, Nice find, doc Would have been great to see his expression when all this was going down (literally ha ha). I also couldn't quite make out what he was yelling at the end when things slowed down...anyone able to decypher it ? Maytagging is a term used in whitewater paddling when a boat or paddler gets stuck in a reversal/souse hole/hydraulic, on the downstream side of a ledge or pour over, and can't get out. They end up going round and round, under water and up etc etc ad nauseum. We look for smiley holes (as seen from upstream) as it allows paddlers to work their way to the edge and out whereas if we see a frown, it's bad as the outside of the hole just feeds you back to the middle. Rinse and repeat. I give hydraulics the proper respect when paddling a line that skirts or goes through them as they're not fun and can be killers and have in fact taken lives.
