It’s not everyday whitewater news makes mainstream media, but yesterday Quebec-based paddler Jim Coffey was interviewed by the CBC about his record-breaking canoe huck on the Alseseca River in Mexico.
In this clip, he talks about what was going through his mind as he approached the lip, the extensive hiking and rappelling it took to approach the waterfall, and he answers the question, “why would anyone want to do this?”
