A Kayaker Runs Rapids on a Stand-Up Paddleboard - Erik Boomer

The thrill of a first-time accomplishment can be exhilarating. So, professional kayaker Erik Boomer tells Boyd he's trying to recreate that feeling of fear and trepidation riding easier rapids that he now finds too easy to run in a boat by riding them on a stand-up paddle board. This fall, in Mexico, he rode a paddle board off a 60 foot waterfall while shooting his new film Cascada. The trick, Boomer says, is to not land on the board or the rocks.
