Pretty risky going by yourself through a remote place like that, I hope she at least had a satellite phone or distress signal.
Thanks Red Bull and congrats Nouria, that place looks amazing.
& make those scary rafting some smoother.

Very committing...
Please don't do that again!
She risked her life to accomplish an incredible goal without any help. The reward you get after completing such a thing is well worth the risk. It makes you feel alive.
You are so brave girl that I haven't seen till date.
From where did you start it?
Bonjour... Hehee
Many times when kayaking alone makes perfect sense and far less dangerous then driving my car to the river. Then other spots that are so popular your guaranteed at least 20+ people on shore with throw bags any day the river is high or damn release is scheduled.
Know your skill level and river, don't go alone when risk is too high. Basic common sense. If I am floating down my local quickriver with some barely class 1-2 spots, going alone after 20 years has been less then risky. (its basically like a lazy river and is about 4 feet deep)
Now never go alone on rapids like Lava Falls or Pillow in WV makes more sense; basically any rapid with a known running death toll.
People at her skill level; doubt this was even coming close to testing her skills, risk was tolerable.
I was just saying that when people give 'advice', they don't factor in that finding people isn't always easy.
Una mujer de primera.
Buenas tomas en una expuesta expedición.
No excuses. That line is a big big mistake, even worst the attempt to stick to those rocks with the paddle by opening that spraydeck is something never seen before in 30 years of kayaking.
Going alone is completely different experience; not for plebs or nubs. If you want to stay 100% safe; why are you kayaking whitewater in first place, stay at home.
Salut t tros cool
Après il ya une équipe derrière cest sur elle est pas conne non plus
Solo paddling doesn't have that option. It's you and the river till an access point opens up. There's so many more variables at work; the river level being the most obvious, like how it changed overnight in this trip. Nouria ran this river essentially blind, and nearly with her life for an error of judgement.
Props to her for succeeding, but in my ten years of paddling, I've always looked at solo whitewater kayakers with a mixture of awe and bewilderment. It was hammered into me from the beginning to never paddle alone, precisely because of the High risk, high consequence nature of the sport. It's far beyond what I'd ever be comfortable doing, but credit where credit is due, this was amazing.
However, I need to ask... what was the story with the swim? She put the paddle on the rock, attached herself to the boat (!), pulled off the cockpit and then we see her swimming way behind the kayak, not attached, then reuniting with it and recovering the paddle magically appearing right there... What happened there? I it a little edit dramatizing? :-)
I believe it was a great adventure but I'm in doubts if it was really as dramatic as shown in this movie.
All the best anyways, always nice to see girls pushing their limits!
Also, I always feel like having gloves on makes me safer, because when I hit my hand I won't automatically let go and are less likely to get injured. Any reason why pros don't do it?
I got the feeling that, before she ended up in this situation, she felt a bit invincible. After, reality hit hard and gave back the feeling of being humble. Good lesson, stay humble, thats the right attitude to be on a river like this.
Glad you survived! I wouldn't dare.
Anyone who questions someone else's decision to do something solo obviously does not do anything solo.....
Props Nouria.
so glad your alive Nouria ♥
It appears so. Smart thrill seekers minimize risk, and smart kayakers don’t paddle alone in these conditions, period.
Props Nouria.
You feel?
I'm not defending her , i'm defending her right to put herself in a dangerous situation as a challenge.
I thought one might get deported doing this without permissions, then I realized that's a petty problem when one might die doing it.
Much love from an Ottawa paddler!! See you on the river this summer maybe!!?? Stay safe!!!
Well I could of enjoyed this run.....
Props Nouria.
