St Louis Mississippi paddle just became a bucket list item.

@karenbencke8407 Год назад

I always love the contrast of wild and industrial on that section of the river and the view paddling up to the Arch just does not get old!

@PaddleTV Год назад

Totally! I LOVE the industrial paddling experience. So different than anything else.

@robertpogue1586 Год назад

Ken, come to Pittsburgh! We’ve got bridges, too. It’s a perfect place for an urban paddle and the middle Yough is a little over an hour if you’re looking for a pretty place to get a whitewater fix.

@PaddleTV Год назад

Heck yeah!

@mikemorgan7389 Год назад

That would be a great spot of this channel! Pittsburgh and Ohiopyle are beautiful!

@RonK Год назад

Hi Ken. Congrats to 100K subscribers 👍. Thanks for all the great videos, always a pleasure, always looking forward to the next one. Way to go!

@willhoyer Год назад

Enjoyed seeing you paddling something a little more urban. I'm upstream from St Louis in Dubuque, Iowa and I'm fortunate to be able to throw my boat on the car and be paddling on the Mississippi in about 10 minutes. I love the diverse paddling experiences available - big and rough water one day and glassy the next, quiet creeks, backwaters, barges, urban bridges, harbors, flooded forests, etc. - but he main channel is definitely something to be respected.

@PaddleTV Год назад

Very cool backyard that you've got! I'm looking forward to heading back that way in the future!

@simmonsa77 Год назад

Paddling to the Arch is awesome and Big Muddy is a cool outfitter.

@mountainhobbit1971 Год назад

fun video Ken, thanks! It was fun seeing you live on the River Kings RU-vid Channel last night.

@PaddleTV Год назад

Thanks Sean. It was cool chatting with those guys. They're all such top notch people.

@davidlevin450 Год назад

Really enjoyed and appreciated this video and your visit, Ken. There's a large, vibrant paddling community here with a number of your fans and followers. Next time you're heading here, share a heads-up via your social media and we'd look forward to arranging a meet-up!

@PaddleTV Год назад

Sounds like a great idea! I will be back!

@robertcarpenter5681 Год назад

Ken, since you said that you love bridges, I would encourage that you tour Pittsburgh. There you will find 900 bridges new and old.

@viktorjohansson5222 Год назад

Are you going to talk about sprint kayaks/kayaking at some point?

@PaddleTV Год назад

Hopefully I'll get a chance to do some sprint kayak videos soon. I haven't sat in one in years!! Would be really fun to do so again.

@mdsf01 Год назад

Very cool setting! You should try the Lachine Canal in Montreal for some urban paddling closer to home.

@PaddleTV Год назад

Oh yeah! I've surfed at Lachine many times over the years! Love it there.

@georgeburns7643 Год назад

Just picked up a Clipper Prospector 14 a few days ago. Fibreglass layup. Had it the water today for the first time. Always enjoy your gear reviews and I look forward to your review of the 14. I hope you have opportunity to run some class II to assess this canoe’s capabilities.

@PaddleTV Год назад

Awesome! you're going to love that boat! I felt that I was paddling it in class 3 with the wind and waves we dealt with the day before! :)

@wisenber Год назад

It would be awesome to have a camera crew to provide shuttle for your boat. Paddling down river 20 miles is great. It's the 140 miles of shuttling that stinks. And there's always the guy with room for only one boat on the roof.

@jstpsgthru Год назад

You're pretty good at this RU-vid stuff!

@PaddleTV Год назад

:). Thanks!

@ANDROO12 Год назад

Do I need to keep my head on a swivel?

@learntechwithruth2147 Год назад

I would definitely prefer going under a bridge than over one in a big city.

@JacquelineMoleski Год назад

Kayak Chicago! And there's a lot more places ti kayak than the Chicagi River.

@CalebSmyth Год назад

How did you like the Clipper?

@PaddleTV Год назад

Great boat! I was using the Prospector model, which I've paddled many times in other brands of canoes. Well made, lightweight canoes like the Clippers are a real treat to paddle!

@lazyrivercanoeinglifestyle9287 Год назад

I like your video but seeing you paddle a canoe with a kayak blade just upsets me. not sure why , perhaps I have issues ;)

@PaddleTV Год назад

Ha! I hear you... it felt weird paddling with the kayak paddle, but after getting worked by the wind the day before on the Missouri River, it seemed like the smart thing to do. I just couldn't keep up with a single bladed paddle in the conditions that we had.
