nice carnage....makes me feel all good and fluffy inside hehehe
Good stuff, I had the same experience on the New about 15 years ago. I got tossed from the raft in a big hole called Suprise!
Awww, surprise is just a big fluffy monster with no teeth...although it can be fun for rafts to flip on.Quote:

I was there yesterday, it's a fantastic facility. I'll get a TR up with some descriptions pics and more carnage, maybe later this afternoon.
One of my favorite sequences ever, I was the guy in back for this one

A few more fun ones
http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...e/Pitstop4.jpg
That foot used to be the guide
http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...ge/Morgan2.jpg
This was the first day after this guide checked out
http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...rnage/0091.jpg
This guys ducky was getting surfed in this hole in the middle of a class IV. I'd swum this rapid numerous times before, so I figured the easiest way to get it out was to swim out to that rock, and dive in. I lucked out and this was one of the days that our photog was shooting this rapid. Fun times. I definitely miss that job sometimes.
SCORE!! +100 for the guide.
http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...nage/Ian11.jpg
If the guide has a clean dump-truck maneuver (tossing out all the gapers) while staying in the boat, you get a beer.
Our only beer rule was if the guide fell out, he or she owed a case to everyone else. We definitely still took pride in the dump truck though :FIREdevil:
yea....that was our rule...if the guide swam, we owed a case of beer to everyone. if not....all about dumping as many people as possible who signed up for a river trip but "didn't want to get wet" :fm:
Yeah, amazing how none of them ever wanted to get wet. Their brains somehow don't recognize the "water" in whitewater rafting. Damn disneyworld brainwashed tourons. I'm glad I don't have to pretend to like them anymore. Or pray for tips to pay for the beer that I owe everyone
:edit: Oh yeah, and the best thing about that pic above is that I was trip leader on that one, but with the rope setups I was the last to run. It was a 9-boat trip, every single guide and guest had a front row seat for the dump, and then they all got to scramble to pick up my crew. YeeHaw
.
What? You say you can't swim? That's okay. Just sit here in the back, miss, next to me.
That way I can help you if you start to fall out of the boat.

It looks pretty pricey. $15 for 1.5 hours!!! Are all the play spots weak like the ones in your photos? Are there any real rapids or is it just ledge drops? I think the idea sounds sweet but the whitewater does not look legit.
Try these...Quote:

$15 for 1.5 hours and $25 for the day. Its not bad when there is no whitewater within 3-4 hours.
The whole "river" is configurable and they are supposedly working on improving the play spots, but there are a lot of "ledge drops" that are just holes.
There is about 1200 cfs going through the main channel.
i'm sorry but this thread is jsut pure tits
it is it is :D
This one is funny as hell. I was crying from laughing so hard. Another one from the Charlotte Whitewater Center..
Competition channel. Right before the drop the guide tries to scare the rafters and yells "WE"RE ALL GONNA SWIM". Right at the bottom of the drop guess who is the first out of the boat? The guide.
http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...9/DCP_1944.jpg
Another raft comes along...The fat guy getting pulled back in is about to have a stroke I think.
http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...9/DCP_1945.jpg
With the lack of paddlers they were absolutely stuck in this eddy. Im talking 5-10 minutes. It was forever.
http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...9/DCP_1947.jpg
Then they tried to go all the way back into the hole to launch out, well the guide went swimming again...
Notice the guide in the right part of the picture, along with the re-enforcements being sent in with paddles on the shore.
http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...9/DCP_1952.jpg
Now that the guide is gone, the struggle continues. As they are going in Im on the shore screaming "SURF THAT BITCH, GET IN THERE". The wave starts sufing them.

jscreekin-
is the guy in the white helmet and red riot's name shannon?
Hey, shockgunner-
Did you ever try spraying armor all on those boats when the guide isn't looking?
Oh, I forgot to mention-
The caption used in post #14 also applies to the pictures in posts number 15 and 16.

gonehuckin,
It's Chad and he is in a prijon cross, looks similar to a riot though.

oh sh!T you're right, i saw the grey logo and just thought i couldn't read the "Riot".

Geoff, would that, by chance, be the weir on the Kaituna?
Since I caught others, I'll post a sequence of me.
Ok after the first drop, here comes the wave:

It was a great day at the WWC until the last run. Clinton (Ridinshockgun) was done for the day and went to take pictures since I was going to keep going. I thought I had it down, but I guess they don’t call it the big water channel for nothing…

This happened…
http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e2...6/IMG_6831.jpg
I went to tuck when I thought I was going over the next drop and that is right about when I hit my right shoulder. I rolled up shortly after that. I have been worried about a shoulder injury in this area and have been meaning to get some sort of top to at least protect the flesh a little, but it’s too late now.
I had felt the impact, but it didn’t hurt too badly so I thought it was just a scrape like I had seen on some other people until I looked at my shoulder and saw the chunks of flesh hanging and blood flowing.
Before seeing the pictures, I thought I had hit the rock pile on the left or right directly after the M-wave like this…
http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e2...6/IMG_6324.jpg
Or this…
http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e2...6/IMG_5753.jpg
but now I am not sure where I hit since it looks like my right shoulder was facing upstream the whole way.
Thanks to Sarah Harper and the doctor who happened to be getting out of his boat when I pulled up for getting my wound temporarily patched up.
I headed off south towards that hospital in CLT, but when I realized I was okay, I turned around and went to the hospital in Winston so I would be close to home and my family if there was a problem.
Hold your food down because these are beautiful…

All stitched up now and still haven’t felt any pain (no pain meds either) so hopefully it won’t start hurting tomorrow. I will be off the water for some time, but hopefully I will get some more in before snowboard season arrives.
It may not hurt but is sure does look gnarly. Hope it heals quickly.
KW, that is the Kaituna.
Mark, that gash is awesome!
I think you should draw a smiley face onto the scar.
"okay everybody, lean back a little for this one."
