What do you guys think of that first drop? Are the kayakers hitting something on the way down? Would YOU do it on a riverboard?

Gorgeous river, and for the most part it looks like it all goes on a riverboard. The falls at 3:25 looked a little dicey, but otherwise it would be an awesome ride. The first drop is out of my league though; I don't feel comfortable risking a spinal injury swimming off a big vertical drop like that. Watching the kayakers, if you got up on that righthand reactionary in the entrance you probably wouldn't hit anything on the first kicker, and I don't think they hit anything as they went over the main falls.

I wonder:
What they are dropping off of ( the lower ledge)
and is the main drop undercut? barring those being an issue, the landing is super aerated, so it's less or a worry there... assum ing no ledges protrude down low that only a boarder would hit... it looks like it has possibilities.

I didn't see anything that looked undercut, but a few of those drops are backed up with alot of rock, and there is one drop that you would have to make the turn on (looks like there's a cave on the Left)
