NORTHWEST HUCKFEST OFF TO A GOOD START

Tyler Bradt has been adding to the record books lately and there’s no stopping the boys on their most recent journey through the NorthWest. “Sunset Falls (above) drops 105 feet over 275 feet in length. It took Tyler 19 seconds from top to bottom. After a full morning of figuring out camera angles, scouting, and dealing with pissed off locals, (someone egged my car) Tyler was ready to go.Once again I stood with Tyler at the top of another savage rapid and told him my usual advice… “Either way man. I don’t blame you for pulling the plug on this one.” He assured me he was confident with it and ready to go. Boomer and I both walked down to our cameras and agreed it was a little loose, but we were confident he could stick it…
As he always does, Tyler pulled through. He NAILED the top lateral in the exact spot and came screaming down the slide at maybe 60 MPH? The fastest I have ever seen anyone go in a kayak down a slide.”- Rush Sturges.
