LOVE IT!

Thanks for sharing. Been paddling since the late 70's and in the whitewater biz, since '81. It's great to see these guys using multiple skills and decision making while pushing boundaries. Throw in airplanes and it doesn't get any better.

Just so happened that the pilot Jay was an old buddy from college that I used to paddle with!
