SERIOUS INJURY & NAMING CEREMONY OF A LEVEL 3 RAPID.

First time kayaking experience in Kerala, India

So once I was done shooting MRF, Asia’s biggest kayaking festival, we were given a chance to learn how to kayak by one of the best. Dinesh was our instructor for the day. He was kind enough to take time out and be patient with us. Every bit of this experience was thrilling and exciting.
We were team of 4, me, Adrian, Maya and Ravi. We walked half way with our kayak and then used a rope to get the kayak in water.
River we trained in, is called Malabar Express. We were at the finishing pool of river, but it is the river that is run by pro level kayakers. For a little while I had fun at the malabar pool and went for a few swim. It was exciting!!

To bring our kayak out, we decided to run down a small rapid. Now on first day , you shouldn’t be running down rapid but well YOLO :P
With gods grace and some smart thinking me and Maya got out of the Rapid without going for a swim. It was a real proud moment. But on the other hand, boys weren’t that lucky. Ravi & Adrian had a swim and got stuck in between the rapid for almost 20 to 30 minutes before they were rescued. Everybody is fine now. Oh btw since me and Maya didn’t have a swim, we decided to rename the rapid as ‘Power Puff Girls’.

Over all it was FANTASTIC!!
Thanks Goodwave Adventures for giving us the opportunity to learn how to Kayak. Stocked to hit the water again!

See you, when I see you ❤
Kbye!
