Lots of fun - really like mine. I'd like a fun as well.

Yip flew over and had no probs - brought one of those inflatable racks for the hire car.

Easy jet.

Depends on the river - I've night paddled the kaituna loads of times - but its not got any rocks. Fun fun fun.

Err - Ballroom?

East Lyn from below the evil rapid after the gorge could be fun to run a few times if the gauge flow is plus 1.6. or to above brendon from the moor.

Really good - we sweet talked the air hostess last time and got extra biz class food. Good with the boats - just good all round.

WASH YOUR BOAT AND TAKE PHOTOS OF YOU WASHING YOUR BOAT. Or they (customs) will wash it for you. You don't want that.

Tons of white water in PNG. The Gradient and Water boys have been a couple of times.

Pineapples



And river Haka's



And post paddling nature frolics.

The same issues have been caused by damming on the Clutha river in New Zealand. A build up of silt downstream from the dam causing flooding.

The crooked is on the west coast of NZ - a great walk in.

The Green (stone) is around the back of lake wakatipu - on the Routeburn track - good boating.

Green (stone) NZ - Green (truss) Washington State - Green (Narrows) - Green river Colorado, Utah, Wyoming - Yalu (Green) river china.

ETC.

Crooked nz / crooked aust / crooked Oregon.

3 times the fun.

The water or the fact they are H2o's?

Well I can't get google maps to work on my pad. But I have had this in mind for many years. I would love to paddle the arawata river in south Westland in nz. The logistics are inhumanie - prob why I have never heard of a decent. But I know there is epic ww up there - I have walked past it. I would s...

The mamba test - can you actually pick it up?? No? Probably not that then.

Some impressive reviews about for the mk 3 burn - it better be a massive improvement as the last two were not brilliant.

Zet - veloc or raptor??

There are many in the US...

This rapid is pretty intimidating where you are there in the flesh.

Awesome fun - Kaimai creeking is superb.

I never look at the old book - its pages kept secrets that were a mystery to me. The new book is brilliant for a non UK local who doesn't know the lay of the land.

I thought there was some rangatiki in there as well... the shot of them floating afterwards and finally I thought the lake shot at the end (with bard) was prob mavora lakes??

Some are better than others - the best ones tend to be the ones who limit membership... ironically in the context of information democratization. Also they need to be moderated - tightly which makes them again more like a forum than a full social sourced group. SO as a platform its brilliant as its ...

Tree just below euthanasia - watch it at high flows as you can't see it from above.

Yes. But with enough perceived risk to still get the excitement going.

The Okere Falls Enduro on the Kaituna.

6 Hours - team - how many times can you paddle down and run back up the Kaituna in 6 hours. You would be surprised that the top teams did well over 20.

Second the Conway tri as well - its on my list this year.

Heard Facebook style rumors of a big log in the bottom of the right shoot that 'could' be the case of the problems many have had there this year. Don't go right. All the water goes right - but you need to go center. Don't go right. Its not a chicken shoot and seeing people not learning the hard way ...

Wake force on field beck is worth a go if its raining.

Do we want more coverage?? One of the main appeals for me is the lack of coverage.

No tickets - Simon will twist your arm to buy a raffle ticket. Normally its just rock up and paddle - catch-up with mates. The old school paddle looks class this year. They sell good beer at the bar. If you drink enough its guaranteed to rain.

This rapid has changed - people have been getting vertically pinned in the slot river right if you miss the main channel. Please be aware of this and set-up the right portection on this rapid if you think your not going to hit the right line.

Duck tape is cool - just like white water ducks are also cool - this is the NZ native blue duck that live in white water rivers.
