Fluid Kayaks pro, Hendri Coetzee, passed away during an African expedition.

A truly chilling story from Fluid Kayak's Facebook page.

Hendri was an inspiration to all that knew him or read about him.  He was paddling a river in Northern Zambia when he was attacked.  He died doing what he loved and he lived on his own terms.

Some of his credits are

The first decent of the White Nile source to sea

The first solo decent of the Congo.

Check out some of his stories at his blog http://greatwhiteexplorer.blogspot.com/ to learn more about this great explorer.

R.I.P.  Hendri
