The holes aren’t scary; what’s scary is when you’re afraid of them.

After the 2025.2.5 Whitewater China kayaking event wrapped up, Mason and Eleanor went off to tackle the Pengdang rapids on their own, which is long and full of holes, so you really have to conserve your energy and pick the right route to make it more manageable. Unlike Eleanor, who was picky about her path, Mason went straight for every hole, ready to take them head-on. At one point, Eleanor accidentally fell into a water hole and had to struggle a bit to get out. Watching it from both drone and GoPro angles really gives you the full experience!
