Sunset Falls just saw it's third descent in a kayak today!  Way to go Sam Graffton!  No swims or broken gear.  Looking forward to seeing the pics/footage.  Stout flow for stout drop.

Does anybody know if there are more videos or pictures of Al?

I'd really like to see video of Sunset being run clean.  I remember looking at it years ago and thinking it would be about impossible to run at all!

No doubt, Sam- that is an accomplishment.
Way to hold that mental edge required to carry it off smoothly. Sounds like you barely got your head wet, but surely that's an exageration.

What CFS was the Sky running when you did it?
