Hometown Beatdown

Great Falls Headcam with a swim at the Spout from Dave Hoffman on Vimeo.
It’s been a great week on the Potomac River.  I’ve surfed some fun waves with my best friend and our mentor, Bruce Uthus.  I paddled with John Haddock, a good friend who I hadn’t seen since Costa Rica in 2007.  Despite difficult logistics, I was lucky enough to take Mike Long down the Falls for his virgin run. Mike’s a good friend and fellow kayak instructor from Oregon who happened to be visiting DC the same week as me.

Plus, I took a beating on the Spout, a picturesque waterfall on the Virginia side of the Falls.  This reminded how much I love warm water and that it’s nice to have an occasional reminder of what drowning is like without any negative consequences. It was captured on my GoPro headcam for your viewing pleasure.  Enjoy!
