However, I cannot help but wonder how many less skilled or less lucky paddlers will die trying to emulate or surpass this feat. Clearly this was an incredible accomplishment by a skilled athlete.

That's pretty amazing, and congratulations to Tyler! It will certainly put him in the world record books. It's great to see it done on a NW drop. I'm glad he's fine through it all. Is it lunacy? As a short answer, I'd say yes, since it's so risky. It does have a point, though, which is stunning photos/video, media attention, and launching someone (Tyler) into the forefront of the sport. Tyler does deserve the hype, not just for this but for all the other high drops he's done and for being a great paddler. I've only paddled with him once (when he joined me on a trip in Mexico), but did come away from that trip with respect for him. Hey, Tyler - why don't you come back down to Mexico and we can actually finish Rio Septentrion, sans flood? Rocky John – nice to have this interview, thanks for putting up.
