Oh and if you’re the person in trouble ‘just stay calm yinz”. Obviously there’s a lot to WhiteWater safety and rescue but one of the most important things I learned from Demshitz was to move fast, work as a team and get hands on the person that needs help. Stoked to be there!ĭemshitz where always on it with safety when I was on tour and one time Dave Fusilli saved my life. I always loved that about Demshitz, always chilled out, always funny it really transforms the situations and I’m happy that myself and Dane cracked jokes at every opportunity. “Selfie of me above Scotts drop”. You don’t have to be serious to do serious things For fear of the flows dropping myself and Dane decided to do the Royal gorge in one day 45 miles and 5 sick waterfalls.Ģ). Lots of people where sending me their predictions for waterlevels but when Dane and Jared Seiler told me Royal was coming in I turned and burned and got on the plane to try and catch it. Obviously you want to give yourself enough time out there but don’t think that you can’t make it happen or that you can’t get it done in less time if you need to get it done in less time. So many times on tour we would drive to a river late in the day and still make it happen. We did do lots of kayaking in different places though and I learned a lot, coming to the Royal gorge for the first time this year I felt like I was putting together all of the things that I had learned from Demshitz over the years. Unfortunately with the seasons, climate change and poor snow packs we never got the chance to go in my three summers on tour. I grew up watching their videos and seeing the photos and although just getting to kayak with them was incredible, I always dreamed of kayaking with them in California where I had watched so many videos of them shredding. To be invited on tour with them was the biggest, best, luckiest break in my career. I grew up watching Demshitz shred in their Pyranha kayaks.
