Whitewater Kayaking: Skills and Drills (Part One)

Making the most of Class II sections comes in many forms. Sometimes there are epic surf waves to be caught on the fly or with eddy service, sometimes there are just-right eddy lines that make a stern squirt come off effortlessly.

Standing at the bottom with the mist from the falls still hitting my face from 20 feet back gives me such a respect for the power of water and keeping rivers wild.
