Brief description of the video:
The video contains footage from five television shows that Tao has been in recently. Along with Tao are a Team of kayakers (Josh Bechtel, Erik Boomer, and Todd Anderson) who paddled around the Americas looking for huge waterfalls and first descents. There are also some funny pieces like the "BZ Beatdown" where they all run BZ Falls at a really sticky level and see who can hang in the longest. They get beaten down, but they asked for it.
They went to the North Shore of Lake Superior and ran some great waterfalls in the spring and then went to Chile this Fall. Footage from the incredible Rio Santa Domingo in Chiapas is included as well as the first descent of the (150 ft?) dam on the White Salmon River in WA. Presented by Mion footwear.
