A novice could learn that within a few tries. I think the water flow would automatically push you away from the falls. ---

I think the water flow would automatically push you away from the falls. works with a full paddle but that guys was cut in half… I gotta think it happened on the way down or the impact. Trying to right yourself with a half a paddle is REALLY hard, esp with the currents under the falls. I think that was a shit ton of luck ---
