I completely disagree Keyes. Keller is paddling a Braaap, its slicey as shit and he wrecks da gaff in it. The whole point in my opinion is hes using a boat that's purposely not as easy to use on that grade of whitewater. The Tuna is easy as shit to use because of its huge rocker o that grade of ww. The Braap on the other hand is like Liquid Logics answer to the RPM. Its 9 foot long and its volume is 69 gallons.
The video is a testament to how slick a paddler Keller is, hes severely handicapped using the boat yet he still makes it look easy as pie. Some examples in the video being:
0:36 (Plenty of speed coming off that slide)
0:44 (Dat eddy catch tho)
2:53 (Cheeky paddleflick into solid boof)
3:00 (another cheeky paddleflick off a big fuckoff waterfall)
4:13 (two boofs that one would call 'Cheeky enough')
4:28 (Need I say more?)
In my opinion some very stylish paddling.
Also, What do you mean the Tuna carries speed out of drops even worse than the Tuna? I thought the Tuna was one of the fastest boats for coming out of drops? Hence why it does so well at sickline and other races.
I realize i'm probably picking an argument with the wrong person here but sure look!

He's paddling low volume slides. No way that boat "Handicaps" him.
No waves pushing him around just a few soft diagonals here and there.
Would just be epic fun to paddle the Braaap.

Looks like he had a nifty pair of sun glasses on while he paddled. Acted as a force field to death!
Sheep, like all wool-bearing animals, instinctively travel north, where it's colder, and they won't be so stuffy.

Nice drone footage of S-bend when not in flood. There are a few paddlers in the shots as well - anyone know who they are?

I used loop Pyranha Masters in surf, and the sluice in Dublin in secondary school, huge airtime, but wouldn't have landed back in the hole.PatrickBrennan wrote:Looping a dagger nomad shouldn't be possible
