This is absolutely wild! Marcelo Galizio is a professional kayaker and resident dare-devil in Brazil.
He recently took his extreme street-cred to the next level by using his paddle to launch himself from the peak of a fast-flowing waterfall in Tahquamenon Falls State Park, Michigan.
The best part – he captured the whole thing on his trusty GoPro. Well done, sir.
Megan Rappa, an extreme sports photographer from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, also filmed Mr Galizio’s antics.
The waterfall, which has a drop of 50ft and is more than 200ft wide, is the second largest fall east of the Mississippi river and is Mr Galizio’s biggest ever free fall descent.
Marcelo Galizio has kayaked over 100 waterfalls all over the world since taking up the sport in 2007, but this is sure to be his greatest feat and one that will fast-track his fame into kayaking folklore.
