WILD AND BROKEN: A FIRST SUP DESCENT IN UTAH

PADDLING A RELIC OF THE MIGHTY ESCALANTE RIVER

The river's milk chocolate surface, marbled with whirlpools of whitewater, draped like an infinity pool over the drops ahead. I gaped at my buddy, Dylan Brown, as he bumbled down the first cascade and rocketed backwards off his standup paddleboard--which took a 180-spin and smacked the surface, gear faced down. After clambering with the SUP (which was now lodged against a boulder), he finally leveraged it flat, jumped back on and raced down concurrent drops after his paddle. I looked back at our crew of paddlers--Jordan Curet, Morgan Smith and Aaron Kloer--whose lips moved, but the thundering turbulence that bounced off the walls of the canyon quelled any chance of hearing them.
