Like any kayaking trip to a new place, my mind was buzzing with ideas of what I wanted to accomplish—from dialling in my cobra flip on the Rio Palguín, where it was invented, to running stunning 20-meter waterfalls with my ReactR and perfecting my technique. However, the first challenge Matti and I faced was simply making it as far as the airport in Santiago, Chile.

Austria is famed for whitewater kayaking, with the Salza waterfall being a rare challenge. In 2014, Lukas Strobl and later Daniel Egger successfully descended the 83ft drop. Recently, heavy rainfall allowed another attempt, leading to a successfully planned descent by the author, Huw Butterworth, in his Pyranha ReactR.
