I tried that a couple of times, on easy to moderate hills with NOTHING to
run into......playboat is more fun with planing hull, but I swear....I have
no idea why my paddle did not snap! Maybe deep powder would work better for
control....BTW I'll not do it again, however it IS fun sliding down a snow
covered bank into the creek\river on a winter run, but you need to be
leaning downstream aggresively BEFORE you hit the current.

In a fit of insomnia, I saw some clips on Conan's show of somebody in a
poly
white water kayak hurtling down a very steep snow-covered mountain side.

Looked like they were doing braces at about 50 mph over snow/ice/rocks.

Anybody know the story?

Did they survive?
