'It was a pretty wild feeling,' Dane Jackson told CNN
Earlier this month, Jackson — who was born deaf — accomplished a longtime dream of his when he became the first person to kayak and survive a 134-foot waterfall in the mountains of Chile.of the task he completed on Feb. 5. “That was a waterfall I actually wanted to do for a couple years now. I would come across photos and I was like, ‘Man, I gotta go see this in person.'”
“I felt really confident with the drop. Luckily, over the years I’ve run enough waterfalls — I have enough trust and faith in my skills,” Jackson said. “As soon as I hit the skirt, that came off and my boat filled up with water and I had to come out of my kayak, but as soon as I hit, I was like, ‘Well this went awesome,'” Jackson explained to CNN.“It’s usually just coming over that lift is the best moment. It’s like you’re falling off the face of the earth. It’s pretty wild. Just looking down, there’s chaos everywhere and normally the pools are big, but that one was this tight little cove, so it was super weird.
