Impressive run after a broken paddle. I don't know if there's a non-FB version of this out there or not..

Wow!
I find it hard enough to stay upright with a paddle. Looked like he only missed 1 gate? (quite a few touches) - just goes to show the importance of positioning and using the flow.

Not sure I would have made all of the gates with a paddle

Wow!
My arms feel tired from watching. Hats off to the paddler for having determination to..." just go for it "

I wish they'd show that on the TSN highlights! !Impresionante! Body language can sure move a boat when you know what you're doing, and I wouldn't want to arm wrestle that guy. Pat.

Excellent illustration that your lower body movement is just as important as upper.
P.S. We are dry out here for the fourth year and won't have much of a boating season. Thank God for releases.
SYOTRiver,
