A little while back, I posted how my buddy Hobie has been pushing the limits of Stand Up Paddleboarding, logging first descents on whitewater runs like the Numbers and Gore Canyon.
Now it seems our friend and perennial ‘guy in the van down by the river’ Dan Gavere, has one-upped him. Behold the SUP waterfall 1st D.
The Goat draws a pretty funny analogy between SUP’ing and Rollerblading. That’s a little harsh, but the jury is still out for me on whether SUP on whitewater is cool, or more like bringing a knife to a gunfight.
Regardless, good on you Dan. I’m impressed.
Our first event- HYPOTHETICAL INFLATABLE SUMO WRESTLING. Don’t be fooled, inflatable sumo is not like regular sumo, its much much sillier and requires different skillz.
There’s really no question about it, I would much rather see Will Ferrell beat up Bear Grylls, instead of try to survive with him. However, coming in a close second to that would be watching Will curse his snowshoes, hang out of a helicopter, and snuggle up with Bear around the campfire. Maybe they streaked the quad after this was shot, or maybe they went to Home Depot or Bed Bath and Beyond.. if they had enough time. Maybe crashed a few weddings or ate spaghetti with syrup and M&M’s…Who knows, really.
