Kayak vs. Rally Truck

[?]

I know a few of you ’strippers find yourselves in a kayak from time to time enjoying our mountains from the bottom of a canyon…it’s been a thin year for whitewater, but the joneses don’t understand that - gotta feed ‘em somehow. An alternative to letting the water and gravity move you rapidly through your landscape is to find some flatwater and power up the kayak version of a jetboat! This is a worthy contest - a whitewater kayak modified to run with a 45 horsepower water jet vs. a “Tomcat” modified Range Rover. The contest is a race in Iceland, the kayak has to navigate an iceberg choked waterway while the Tomcat takes on some gnarly lavabeds…enjoy!

    That was a pretty fun video. Shaun Baker is crazy, but obviously talented as well. Good stuff.

    Maybe I should grab my boat and take it out to the coast and sample some waves. Umm, that sounds like fun. Maybe next weekend…

    That truck is a monster! I used to read the 4×4 mags that BFG makes special runs for those freaks. Something like 35 x 16.5 or something. Insane big tires for floating on the snow and glaciers.

    The kayak is cool too.
