Nice stern squirt.
did you land the back flip? hehehehe:FIREdevil
Mark, I think a day on the cold Nantahala would rid that cut of infection.
Yeah I wanted to get out on there before the snow season hits, but it will be fucking cold by the time my shoulder heals.
That water won't be any colder than it is now. 40 degrees year round remember. Pretty soon it will match the air.Quote:

The proper procedure for this rapid:
Step 1: Stay way right, to miss the rough part of the big hole.
Step 2: At all costs, Avoid the giant rock on the left.
The zebra was not pleased.

nice bow slide :D hehehehe:yourock:
I just find this one funny. Its from AW's Cheoah (NC) page.

That's one hell of a yard sale.
Damn! I have seen more carnage footage coming out of that NC whitewater park since it opened than anything else! What gives? :confused:
Cement bottom, shallow spots, rocks that haven't been worn down by a river, along with some crazy acting water (1200 cfs + narrow channel + sloped concrete walls = :eek: )Quote:

MMM, the Cheoah is fun. I'm glad they have releases on it now although there is a TON of carnage that happens on the lower section, the part below the little falls.
I love this stuff. :
This is Tutea falls, on the Kaituna river, Near Rotorua New Zealand.
....not a snowball's chance in hell.:biggrin:
and, I really love the fact that people pay me to do this to them.:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Haha. Gotta love the fact that there are no liability suits in Kiwi land. It makes the raft companies pretty fearless with what they take customers down.
How in the hell would a raft ever make it over that rightside up? :eek:
Sometimes they get really lucky.
More from Cement River...
SPLAT!

This one just makes me laugh, I don't know why...

Ahh so sad.
I love that part in SnoWhat were they push the raft off of the embankment and try to dive into it on the way down. "Did any of you make it in the raft?"

(There are six people riding in this boat.)

^^^^^that looks like a nasty hole^^^^^
Thats because it's actually a wier. And at that particular water level it gets bad. At higher water it washes out.
that almost reminds me of some of the low-head dams we run around here....nice to keep you worked in a lil ol kayak
No pics from on the water but I picked up this bit of carnage on the Ocoee a couple of weeks ago. (I'm now in the market for a full face helmet.)

mmm yes, there are parts of the Ocoee where being upside down isn't such a fun experience. Nice shiner though!
Yay spring is here!

Hyalite Creek, MT.
My son's boat pinned vertically after his face, shoulder, thumb and knee met with some unfriendly rocks. His boat hung up on a snag first, then went vertical, then onto another snag. A Z-drag setup and an hour later we had the boat back, minus a broken paddle and his poagies.

I love the way the guy sitting in front right turned into a big pussy and ran away.
This clown arrived at the trip claiming to be a highly experienced rafter, and insisted that he be the one to sit in the front of the boat.

We caught this group while were were hiking back up for our second run. A raft/fishing guide running Kitchen Sink at stout class IV levels with no helmet. Once he gets back in to his raft he's all about protecting the cooler. This was taken yesterday 7.21.07 level is 3,400cfs.
