Hippies & Hooch
Paddling with my cousins from state to state - literally.
Our campsite rested exactly on the border of North Carolina and Virginia on the New River. Our tents were in North Carolina and the showers were in Virginia, so we jumped state borders many times over a three day period, on and off the water.
We brought our SOT's instead of white water yaks - definitely the wrong tools for the job. After the end of the song in this video I left two clips with camera audio as the only soundtrack so you can hear my hard bottom Tarpon 140 scrape over boulders and listen to me get wedged on the rocks. The wash never got above a class 2 (MAYBE class 3), but it didn't need to - you will see where I was pinned and nearly capsized sideways onto some sharp leg breakers toward the end of the video.
Don't get me wrong, though; I'm not complaining. I wouldn't trade the trip for anything. It was hippy nirvana at its finest. Watch it through to the end, and maybe you will be able to partake of the cup of utter escapism that this trip trulywas.
After all, that's the only real purpose of this video...to share with viewers a toast to the freedom of the water. If you feel good after watching it, then my purpose is achieved, and the work I did on making this video was very much worth it.
