Kayak Joe photo-shoot


Hooked up with legendary extreme kayaking action figure "Kayak Joe" for a photo-shoot. He expressed his interest in a first descent down the Rollins Branch, a short, very fast and steep section of whitewater he had been eyeing & dreaming about for a little while.  A perfect opportunity for he and I to get together and document this epic session.


Kayak Joe stylin' with a classic rail grab



First Drop, has a major credentials for a classic southeastern rapid. Kayak Joe styled the line perfect, right through the narrow slot






At the top of "Big Slide"!  Lining up for another perfectly executed line





At the bottom of  "Big Slide" extreme kayaking at its best






Kayak Joe taking the necessary saftey precautions and scouting the Big Drop 





Stylin' the rock spin on "Little Drop",   



Lining up for the big one.....





"BIG DROP" by far the most extreme vertical drop Kayak Joe has ever attempted. measuring in at around 28 inches!  With no fear Kayak Joe throws the biggest Wave-Wheel of his career over Big Drop with perfect execution and the success of another perfect day on the water comes to an end.
