FLetcher Burton makes some attempts to SUP whitewater river drops on South Silver Creek in California. Although he doesn’t make many of the drops, he shows incredible determination by hiking back up and trying again on every drop. He retries Skyscraper drop after breaking his leg.

- 2nd at Worlds Waveski in New Zealand
