I've seen a lot of kayaking videos. That has to be one of the scariest ones
-
I stopped breathing without taking a lung full of air first as soon as you went over that drop. Then I took a breath when you surfaced. That was some loooong downtime! Glad you made it out OK.

This gives my ptsd a jolt. I almost bit the big one down in the narrows on the chatooga river. I was underwater like this for a min. It sucked so bad. I didnt go back in for a year.

This is one of the scariest kayaking videos I've ever watched.

Similar incident happened to me, few years ago me & a few friends traveled up to OhioPyle Pa, Ohiopyle is a borough in Fayette County, Pennsylvania. Man everyone was fired up for a late day run on Yough River, the key features of the Yough River is Ohiopyle Falls, a 19-foot waterfall, as i went over the falls I got pulled under, I was Unable to roll, i exited my boat but couldn’t swim out at first, was under for approximately 30-35 seconds but it seemed like an fucking eternity lol Great upload mate!

Man that’s a whole lotta NOPE !! Glad you’re good !

Incredible skill! In 1978 I was in the White Mountains in New Hampshire, and stopped by the Pemigiwassit river. An empty kayak came floating by.

Got so deep that the only light was from the gopro.. damn thats scary
-
Whoa!!! Dude Damn…have goose bumps! I’m a yaker but not like that. Glad you came out ok. Damn!!!
-
I agree...i experienced similar situations in my kayak lots of years ago. You feel so small and powerless... After all its a fantastic sport.
-
Thought you were surely gonna drown there. Fortunately the cameraman always comes out okay.
-
Glad your alright man, did you ball up and flush out or pick a direction and pulled/swam out of the undercut?
-
This is sick, man!
-
Way too dark down there for my liking
-
Glad you’re ok 🙏

Gnarly swim!!! Blackout deep...as dark as the shart stain down your leg. I passed out once in a hole when a rookie. I blew air into my suit thinking it was good to be more boint. Beach ball spin affect while getting the shit kicked out of me by my boat spinning with me. At least the world didn't go dark...I'll give you that world class swim award!

I like kayaking but I’m never ever gonna do anything remotely close to that 😂
-
Crazy dude.
-
I did not enjoy this. Glad this one ended up turning out ok.
