South Fork of the American River Kayaking: Coloma to Greenwood

Kayaking the Class II section of the South Fork, Coloma to Greenwood. Don't look at this video for technique, I'm a total newbie, 2nd day in a hard shell kayak... I did spend a couple of days at a pool learning to roll, so there is some practice footage of that in the river (but no combat roll yet!).

Good Stuff!! I like all the notations you made in the video. I've been looking for something like this to see what my first few times out will actually be like. One of my buddies just gave me a white water kayak a couple weeks back & I've been researching & gathering gear ever since. I can't wait to get some instruction & try it out!! Thanks for posting the video
