You can put a quick disconnect in the strap so it can be disconnected quickly.

This is ace. More of this please

i love the native american village and frontier house on this river. the security guard chasing you is also exciting as is the possibility of being in the next series of Outlander.

nice info

What happens if you go right, Robin? I propose an experiment...

Boats May be better? Music is NOT! Doors Forever

I loved it! Thank you. 🙏❤️😊

Doors edit with old school footie ❤

Great video

Fantastic work Robin, love your innovation and creativity!

Rapid Studies: for when you need to rapidly study rapids (studiously no doubt).

Well done, robin. Your not getting older, your getting....smarter!

Wow. Great idea!! Thanks

I started wwkayaing when the perception dancer was the one of the only plastic kayak, soon after came the dagger crossfire big change. I was friend with a paddleshop dealer so got the very first Dagger transition (awful design) then the first RPM in western canada. After that Corran Addison showed me kevlar hammer surfboat which I got in crosslined poly soon after. I also got to paddle Spike the designer from Necky kayaks the rip and the Jive prototypes. All the while squirt boating my enigma squirt boat on and off.

Thanks mate

I love your content !!! ❤

Just starting whitewater at 42 :)

Vielen Dank für das interessante Video !!

I followed and enjoyed your comments and perspectives especially on soloing in the paddle forum from way back when you were 'small Robin'. Great to recently rediscover you on KZfaq and to find out you have another string to your bow..! These videos are really top drawer, especially with the overdub comments.

Nice video friend 👍👍👍

Awesome video! Would love to paddle these eventhough some rapids look a bit sketchy

Love the introduction of menace at 7 dwarfs.

These are my favourite days, well known runs at exhilarating levels, just don't swim.

Yep . I remember GRP boats that disintegrated on contact with big WW rocks, You polyetheleyne kids dont realise how lucky you are ! ha ha xxxxxx

Hilarious! And nicely done

I was hard into kayaking from about 81 to 97. Best times of my entire life. Seems like as I got older the desire to spend all day driving to/from a river sort of faded away. Now I do lots of mountain biking and hiking but I miss those river trips.

Thanks ,works fine with 3m cam buckle strap, which can be adjusted to get the loop length right by tightening the cam buckle

Love the trip down memory lane. The topolino. Melting the boats. The rivers etc. Bring back a lot of memories. Thanks for this great video

LOL,. I felt like I was watching an episode from Winnie the Pooh with Piglet narrating.

😁👍

I like it. Have you tested it with a fully loaded boat?

Started kayaking in 1990. Been at it ever since. And I can honestly say. It saved my life in so many ways. I will be forever grateful for every moment on the water.

Amazing video, being more comfortable asking for help is something we should all live by. Something us brits especially seem to struggle with.

This is awesome! Is this your original audio?

Would love to see more videos from this water in full flow also which part of the river is this taken

well - how long was your strap?

This is gold👌

0:45 ouch... boy that's the truth.

That's some wild stuff to solo!

5kms!

Nice, simple solution. Often the best! 🙏

Definition of old school kayaking. Is you how to be a kayaker. Definition of new school kayaking is you have to have a kayak. The kayaks today make it so much easier to do stuff that you had to really work hard to do in the past.

Hi Robin, great idea! I just tried this (and about a half-dozen variations) with my Nomad. It doesn't quite work for this boat because the only spot to get the strap behind the front pillar is way down at the bottom of the hull, making the straps pull my shoulder back pretty far into the cockpit when carrying, which puts a lot of stress on the back of my head and neck. Your method did inspire a good final solution however, and ended up being even more simple. I just put a carabiner on the aluminum foot-brace stay, just in front of the adjustable nut and attach a loop of webbing (both ends) to the carabiner. Takes literally about 2 seconds to clip it on and you are on your way, no feeding through anything necessary, and at least for my body dimensions, the webbing ends up being just about the ideal length to also double as my emergency tow-tether which can be used for other rescue rigging. Also, if you have a long hike, or a situation where you need to switch shoulders on an approach, again it only takes about 2 seconds to unclip from one brace stay to the other. Thanks for your inspiration!

"Sorry, you're gonna have to do this on your own!" YIKES. Not words you want to hear when you are swimming. But a good call on your part. No point in trying to help him any further until he swims through the next rapid.

Wow, I like that a lot! Quick to assemble, and uses something every kayaker already has

Very interesting. Definitely worth giving a try

that’s actually a really good short short film tbh

Position a quick release snap so you could release it in emergency

Nice idea. Will try this. Thanks for sharing.
