Waterfall kayaking has emerged as a dominant subset of whitewater paddling—thrilling audiences and pushing athletes to constantly tempt higher falls. It is constantly glorified and frequently misunderstood by all but the small group of kayakers who make waterfalls their life.
Evan Garcia explores what it means to kayak off of big waterfalls—considering both the risks and rewards of a life driven by freefall.

“There is always something missing.” The most profound portion of the video.
There are a microscopic few who can do this level of activity and not be just an endorphine addict looking for death. His statement about what is “missing” says that he is on a path to wisdom.
Wisdom will tell him when to move beyond kayaking if he will listen.
Then he will have found the path.
Then what he has learned will have worth. Stay safe young man.
