Here’s a fun little paddling video that’s certainly impressive to watch. It features kayaker Pat Keller skillfully navigating his way down the Green River Narrows in North Carolina backwards. Pat’s friend Scott Harcke followed behind in his own boat, capturing the action on GoPro of course, and they shared the fun with all of us as well.
I think we’ve all ended up paddling backwards at some point, but I’ve never gone this long nor did I manage to do it so easily and gracefully.
