Rush Sturges and Tyler Bradt are both professional kayakers and have been paddling together for the last decade. Tyler holds the world record of the largest waterfall descent in a kayak of 189 feet at Palouse Falls in WA. Rush, in addition to kayaking, is well known for his film making with his company River Roots. He also raps from time to time under the stage name Adrenaline Rush. Photo Credits: Erik Boomer.
Where we put our energy and our thoughts has a huge effect on the outcome of any situation whether its a waterfall or otherwise.
