58: Rescue on the Big Laurel

Can a paddle board make a good river rescue vehicle?

In this episode of the SUPPAUL Podcast, we find out.

Paul Clark talks with Baker Martin, Hank Cheatham, and Will Saylor about a recent incident on the Big Laurel River in North Carolina.

Baker in a kayak got caught backwards in a strainer. Hank and Will were following behind and were able to position themselves to reach Baker and free him from his boat.

It's a chilling account of a dire situation.

We're happy to talk with the three men about their perspectives of the incident and running rivers.
