My five unforgettable days whitewater kayaking in Chile: The river showed me who’s in charge

 There’s a huge rock in the middle of Casa de Piedra and I’ve just kayaked around the wrong side of it. You’re supposed to go right. That’s the line. But today, my fifth and final day of a whitewater kayaking trip on Chile’s Río Futaleufú, I’ve ended up left. I thought I had the rapid figured out, I’ve paddled it every day, but a lateral wave knocked me and my friend Bartosz, who was in front of me, off course. Now the two of us are swirling around in an eddy, a circular current of water, behind the big rock trying to figure out what to do next.
