One broken GP roll, one Broken SOF, no broken people, Olga running the biggest pour over I have ever filmed!!
I was not planning on filming on this Mendocino trip, but grabbed the helmet cam at the last minute in case something happened to come across my path….and it did ; )

Fantastic footage, some great skills! Shame about the music, I would rather just hear the sea and your gang whooping it up!
What kind of boats are you guys paddling? Is it a sea – river cross?
Awesome. Looks fun!
USTEDES SON LA LIGA
I'm just wondering about the impacts to the plant and animal communities living at or below the tide line on the rocks that you were clearly dragging and crashing your boats over (yellow boat @1:59; red boat @3:15) in a misguided attempt to get a thrill by pretending to be creek boaters while having your asses handed to you in your sea kayaks. Nice work
I agree lets have fun and to hell with the marine plant life.
You guys are just like those people with power boats crashing into Coral reefs. Kayaker's usually like peace and nature. Crashing into plant life and living creatures is not what good nature loving kayaker's do. Maybe you will be happy if kayaker's are banned from enjoying the coast. If you want to act stupid why dont you get white water kayaks and leave the sea creatures at peace.
This is what happens when people have more testosterone than sense. The music only confirms this.
You should try whitewater kayaking
mt lokooo!!
Sweet vid!
The MUSIC is TOTAL BULLSHIT! Like to hear the OCEAN!!! what load of mind garbage!!!!
THUMBS DOWN #7 No Ocean Sounds! Music for degenerates!
I love everything about this video. Dope!
RIP Greenland paddle. Those sharp rocks seem pretty dangerous to me, doesn't anybody get hurt during these expeditions? If I would do this with my polyester kayak it would break into 1000 pieces 🙂
Asshole music……fucking sucks.
I never get tired of watching Neptune's Rangers play. I've taken a bit of coastal kayaking class and I found it difficult and largely terrifying. And that was on a mild day. I was up in the Mendo area with Liquid Fusion.Total respect for the skill and nerve.
Wow, I just made a silly comment about the music, but my goodness, people get downright trashy about their opinions! Sorry Neptunes Rangers. You guys are studs and deserve to listen to whatever you want. And with the rigging and safety backups I saw strapped on some of the boats, I'm guessing the comments about no brains is ridiculous as well. I saw each time a boater went down, everyone watched for the roll to make sure all was cool. You guys are awesome! I wish I had a group like that where I could have fun and practice skills while all looking out for each other. Keep it up – good job!
Loving the baidarka rock-climbing clip around 3:09! who needs fancy kevlar stuff…?!
RAD!!!
the spillover at 4:00 looks fun!
very nice video!
any relation to Kurt ?
Shit music , why is music necessary ?
Looks beautiful and thrilling.
looks fun! …except for the crashing into the rocks part. and how come the one dood's paddle is just this little stick thingie, wtf?
Nice roll at 3:00. Dude gets knocked over by a big wave in the rocks and pulls himself up quickly.
Salty boofs! Awesome! Now I wanna grab my green boat or stinger and head to the rocky beach.
OUCH! at 2:26. That's why this is a plastic boat sport!
You guys should try boofing some of these pour overs, haha. Super cool that you guys are ripping it up like this, though.
For those that do not know: GP = Greenland Paddle and SOF is Skin over Frame. Now the GP I can understand, but who takes a SOF into that madness? Fantastic video, that's rock jumping, not rock hopping!
Sick! Dream conditions
Where is this?
Almost like a ride in a blender half filled with water and half filled with rocks !
Did anyone scratch their kayak ? LOL
I saw a photographer on the rockstaken pictures (I don´t remember if it was in this video or other from you). Is there a site where to look that shots? GREAT JOB!!
I'm Insane!! RATT and Roll!! Great Vid!!
Super fun wave riding and love the adrenaline music. Beats the hell out of the ghetto trash the kids are playing. Sure does sound a lot like Ratt, these guys copied their sound well.
Sounds like you having fun 😂
What kayaks were you all on, Dagger? I’m assuming they were all made of polyethylene, the only option for rock gardening.
Great video btw.
Mute works great.
what a dumb thing to be doing – taking small paddle boats in to where surf is breaking against rocks. really really dumb. must have a strong death wish. or want to wind up in a wheelchair for life due to a spine injury. next there will be a problem and Coast Guard people will have to risk life and limb to go rescue them. really dumb. beyond dumb, actually.
Is accident happens some day?
jajajaja que locos! 🙂
Holy Moley, that is a seething maelstrom of potential face grinding rock outcrop, fun to watch though. Kind regards.
Should of pulled a fishing rod out and done some fishing
You guys are nuts, but then again looks fun, as far as me hell NO!
So it goes.
