Nantahala Cascades (300/425cfs) Good Lines and Bad Lines :)

Sick GAF Weekend with the boys. Saw some carnage, participated in some carnage, etc...
I screwed up my line off Powerslide, coming into the hole with a slight right angle, and got blown into the river right wall. I rolled hard onto that side, lacerating the underside of my chin pretty badly against the edge of the rock. I rolled back up, blood pouring rapidly down my chin, and went on down the river. I still had a pretty good line on Chinese Feet, so I'm happy about that. I came back the next day for the 425cfs release and had a baller time.
I love this river. I am feeling pretty ready to dial it in (hopefully sooner than GAF next year). Although my lines weren't the best, I'm hoping to get to the point where I am actually catching eddies on the fly, playing certain features, and confidently running a lots of laps in a day.
We'll call this video a timestamp in my paddling career, so I can look back in time and assess last weekend's footage with the perspective of a boater who has learned some valuable lessons, cleaned up his lines, and dialed in his skills.
