"Kayak Free Kayaking" is the latest outdoor adventure parody from Mark Odlum & John Dabrowski of the sketch comedy group "The Smart Department". Join us as we follow the world's greatest kayaker, adventure icon Trip Deacon, while he pushes action sports to new limits and creates the concept of kayaking without a kayak. Follow Trip as he searches for life's meaning and attempts to conquer his dream of being the first person to ever kayak down Lombard Street in San Francisco... without a kayak. Witness the danger through helmet mounted cameras as Trip Deacon throws fear aside and drops into the unknown world of Kayakless Kayaking. This epic action sports odyssey was filmed on location in San Francisco and Los Angeles, California in hi definition using GoPros, a Contour HD and a Canon 5D Mark II and a lot of Redbull.

DHS Warning: This is a radical, innovative, and potentially disruptive activity.
"Kayak Free Kayaking" is a clear and present danger to OPEC (Organization of Polyethylene Exporting Companies).
If you see someone practicing "KFK", dial 911 immediately.
Don't be tempted to try it yourself.
Don't listen to Red Bull, or GoPro.
Don't let your children try it.
Just say no (way).

Been looking to buy a new boat to get back into paddling, until I saw this. Saved me £600 , when does the world freestyle series start? Think I may enter!

Now put him on a unicycle & have him keep getting sprayed down with washer fluid , that would be hilarious.

where was safety on a level 5 road like that, they really should of had people with throw ropes, that can get dangerous.

How safe was it paddling down Lombard(?) Street? The close proximety of cars look a little dangerous - similar to paddling next to out of control rafts on a tight/shallow river? We've got many narrow/steep streets/roads in the UK, I think you should fly out and give them a try out.
