well I don't know for sure, but i'd have to say that it would be significantly easier because you're falling with the water. at the moment of impact it's already broken surface tension for you so it shouldnt be too hard

You have foot pegs and a foam bulkhead in the front plus you land like a pencil dive so its not like landing flat. still would make you feet soar i bet

dude the amount the water is churning down there you most likely wouldnt even know when you hit the water it would be really really softened up.

that fall is bigger than Niagara falls. Niagara falls are only 173 feet on the Canadian side and under 100 feet on the American side.

So sick!! I always wondered how they know if its deep enough or even if it might fall on rocks and not water.

maybe it dosent matter with this because i guess your just engulfed in water and you dont really hit that hard.
but if you land with the point of your kayak down dosent you upper body thats out of the kayak take a bit of a hit?
