Kayakers Paddle Crazy Flooded River in Tibet (Entry #31 Short Film of the Year Awards 2020) 

When I got started back in the 1950's, I was the only woman on the water. I am so glad to see more and more women out there doing it these days, and I hope that the media do pick up on her so that more and more women will come to this wonderful and rewarding sport, at whatever level they decide to take it. Noria shows that we can do it all.

A highly skilled beast. She wouldn't be where she is without her world class slalom background.

@@powskier No doubt. Rolling up in that washing machine is....um...not trivial!!!

Efficient Germans are a must, I have two, on my team Bernt and Felix.

Certain Death. You would never wet exit on a river like this bro... Better to stay with your boat no matter what. That's the mindset here so your question is irrelevant. The answer is they wouldn't.

@@jamieharr4459 I've seen videos were experienced kayakers flip and the force of turbulent water rips them out of their kayak before they have a chance to roll. I'm pretty inexperienced when it comes to whitewater but kayaking giant rivers at flood stage seems incredibly dangerous to me.

Is this at flood? Bank vegetation nakes it looks like just normal-ish water level

@@liamhurlburt9794 better word 💬 would be "aggressive River". 🌊 🚣

Elevation: 3700m

They're not doing it to prove anything, they just enjoy kayaking big hard stuff and are good enough to do it!

I don't know her exact intentions, it's even hard too really know your own ones, but it is known to be quite common for women in sports to try to prove something. It would just be a shame if that was the case for her as she already has shown how capable she is. But hey, I don't want to belittle her, I just wanted to let her know that for me as a viewer, less extreme rivers would be more fun to look at.
