A fun video from a kayaking event that we do every year with our kids' outdoors school here in Japan (July 2009). Watch in HD! The kids are pretty amazing, I think. They start learning to roll their kayaks in the 4th grade. One of the older boys is on the Japanese Junior team with Olympic potential.
Awesome. You're all good at this. I remember I was pretty freaked when I went down some mild rapids backwards. :D lol. It wasn't my choice at least, the river had twirled me around. Not to mention that the kayak I was on was more like plastic driftwood molded to my body. Note: It was a kayak you sit ON, not in. There was no 'in', so it was all about balance in rapids, I guess. I was in hysterics afterwards when my butt made squelchy noises when lifting after being flooded.
