I was kayaker three thinking that I had the best line!!!! hah ...actually i noticed I was flipped upstream. I remember now the last two times through Throne room I had fallen downstream thinking the diagonals would stop me and I would brace on the flowing water. Did not work. This time I though I could use my balance and response to the water and I got an edge caught upstream..........just crude and not feeling the water!!!!
Besides, i dont think paddling more would've saved that one chris.... the edging did seem wrong but i do believe you are right (of course you would be) so... oh by the way i forgot to say.. i actually managed the c to c in a river without trying it in a pool... its great and so i have now done it just twice.. but still your videos got me that far .... wish id of tried it more but there was pollution heading our way so we got out of the river. Lots of dead fish.. nasty site :(
which means you had to roll true? It was just that freak wave and cus you were edging on the rapid to the left when it hit you on the left it pulled you down true? Take it that was un-expected unless of course your capsize was purposefull to show us your incredible rolls in action! lol
Hahh, actually I had been in the office too much this season I edged down stream figuring the force would be greater that it was. Not being fine tuned on my part, I was irritated at myself ......of course it would be better to do something about it like paddle more in place of becoming irritated.
ha ha, i cant belive it.... well at least you have an excuse and at least your roll works fine.. ive known people to roll confidently for 40 years and then suddenly fail for no reason.. they just have a crisis?!

This rapid is only a couple of years old and was formed by a landslide that was caused by dynamite.
