How come down a waterfall of 18 metres with a kayak

Leave a Comment
Dear reader: first of all, don't try this at home. A professional kayak, Emrick Blanchette, went down a waterfall of 18 yards with his meager means of transport, a dangerous time and unusual filmed in Tomata Falls, in Mexico.

"I was so nervous up there, investigate and show my line. I've seen many turn the kayak in a situation like this, on video, "said Blanchette, a Canadian with only five years of experience in the sport.

"The downhill is very complex, at an angle of almost 90 degrees, so any minimal movement and body position will have influence on our and landing angle," said Blanchette.

With 23 years ago, the Canadian traveled to the region of Tlapacoyan Veracruz a few days old, to test several vertical descents. But none had the magnitude of Tomata Falls.
