That is the comment I would expect from someone who cant even spell the word. Get back to your computer games, these guys were pioneers of the sport and in a time when there were no one going the save your sorry ass if it all went wrong.

Oh well there is one prick in every gooseberry bush!

Old School Kayak.

But I disagree with the "gone are the days" reminiscence at the end. There's still plenty of uncharted rivers around Europe (the further east you go), as well as the rest of the world.

Thanks alot! You are correct in that our sport has evolved so fast. This makes your addition to the video libraries of any fortunate enough to find it invaluable. The mention of your pioneering spirit should be noted as well. Thanks again.

Thank you for putting this video together from your 8mm clips and still photos. It puts my meagre creek-running to shame! Great re-cap of history of kayaking and river-running. You are in Az (Arizona?) I am also Austrian citizen (combined with Canadian), und natuerlich sprich auch Deutsch. Thanks again, andre.

Great video. It was cool to see the boats on top of a few kafers.

This may be the best, certainly one of the most genuine and interesting, posts out there... well done!

[betsylightjoy]

Way interesting! Needs dates added. Ann

[vsbeer]

Would dates on pics in "Whitewater Kayak History" Wikipedia help?

[timelessimagessocal]

Awesome! I did a 7 day trip down Cateract Canyon on the Colorado River. If you never done this, YOU GATTA GO!
