Forget an Eddy, This Kayak Duo is Nonstop Action

We’ve finally entered the beginning of summer kayaking season and J.T. Hartman and Quinn Martell already have a head start. In a recent video, they pound through the Deschutes River rapids of Bend, Oregon. The river is well known for its extensive collection of rapids ranging from Class I to VI, as well as its stunning scenery. The opening of the video is enough to get your adrenaline kicking, scenes of vicious whitewater ripping at the camera. Hartman and Martell make the mighty Deschutes their amusement park, stern squirting and kickflipping down the river. The pair surges through class V rapids, ruthlessly shredding into the icy water, while simultaneously making it look easy. Their electric energy and fast paced flow is enough to make you want to get on the river.
