"The part on the snow was
kind of the hardest part as a
kayak is not really made for the
snow, so you ride it like a sled"
The ambitious project didn’t go hitch-free, though – the high
speed the kayak reached when gliding over the snow caused a
spectacular crash.
"The part on the snow was kind of the hardest part as a kayak
is not really made for the snow, so you ride it like a sled. You
go really fast but you’re kind of out of control. On one of those
descents I lost control before reaching a section with ice blocks.
I hit one of those blocks at about 80kph and it sent me flying
more than 10 metres. I tried to control it in the air, but in the end, I
ended up falling on totally hard snow."
“That crash is next level as the snow was pretty hard. Definitely,
that one hurt. My idea was to go around those pieces of ice and
avoid them. Before doing that move, my kayak started spinning
out of control. So, I went straight onto the ice and it sent me into
the air."
