Kayaks are meant to cruise on water, right? Yes, they ride on water, but they also ride on snow, over rocks, over ground, and through forests. Then they go down waterfalls and finally meet calm lakes. Watching a video of this spectacular descent will take your breath away and be amazed by the kayaker’s skill and courage.
This film chronicles Spanish kayaker Aniol Serrasolses as he descends from Chile’s snow-capped volcanic peak in the Araucanía region along a 25-meter route that takes him through open terrain and forests. It is part of the Red Bull series and has been viewed over a million times. It’s the ultimate natural obstacle course.
Aniol is a kayak adventurer from the Spanish region of Catalonia. He has made a huge impact on the kayaking world with his accomplishments and extreme kayaking adventures. In this film we see him perform the world’s first double kickflip on a kayak. It’s absolutely spectacular!
When asked about his journey, he said he wanted to combine the elements of earth, air, water and fire. Sometimes he reaches speeds of 60 miles per hour and things go wrong. Eventually he gets thrown out of the kayak onto the snow, but he just wipes himself off and gets back in.
Chile has a number of spectacular places. This particular footage was shot in the Araucanía region in the south of the country. It has many fertile valleys, lakes and snow-capped mountains. It is also known for its adventure sports industry.
Snow kayaking is for people who don’t want to put their kayaks away for the winter and want to strap on their skis. They just kayak out onto the snow!
It’s like a combination of kayaking, snowboarding and speedriding and appeals primarily to extreme athletes. In addition to the speed and potential dangers, it also gets pretty cold, so using the right gear is important. It’s growing in popularity and there are international competitions for these amazing athletes to show off their skills!
