No - that is extreme KAYAKING!
Extreme canoeing is doing the Wye from Glaebury to Monmouth - without a crate of Ale on board!

That's just nuts. I thought the thing with calculated risks was you calculate them and if they are very high you don't do them.

good for him, i would of course have thought him an idiot if he'd died doing it but he didn't so well done that man
well, i see what you're saying and i agree in part, i do think however that he probably has developed quite a high degree of skill to be able to pull it off, i doubt that i would have come out of it with just a bad wrist
That takes a lot of skill.
To pass this off as a stunt shows a lack of respect and knowledge of the sport
Drops of 12-15ft still scare the hell out of me.

he he, i'd have probably listed that differently - brave, not sure, skilful - definitely, and a bit foolhardy
You`ll have to have me down as lacking respect then. I really really can't stand stunt people! Unless its spectacular to watch and they are putting on a show. which going over a waterfall isnt.
Read this thread on SOTP to see why this is not a good idea!

I say good on him . The pioneering spirit makes the human race what it is today . I kayak regularly and the highest waterfall I have managed is about 25ft and that was high enough !
