2012 Green River Extreme Race White Water Carnage

2012 Green River white water carnage... and it WAS carnage!

2012 Green River white water carnage… and it WAS carnage!

Sitting here in Australia it’s easy to get carried away in our own coastal paddling exploits – surfski paddling, sea kayaking, SUP paddling, recreational paddling. But in the Northern hemisphere one of the biggest paddling sports is white water, and one of the craziest events is the Green River Extreme Narrows race in North Carolina.

Each year the best and maddest white water creekers converge on the Green River and wonder what the water levels are going to be and how much carnage they’re going to see. By the look of the footage, this year’s was mental.

Remember kiddies, don’t try this at home! Cheers, FP
