After waiting for levels on the 70 footer to go down, we were stoked to go fire it off. We went up and scouted, everything looking nice, then I realized I forgot my drysuit! After much disappointment the boys decided to go to the upper. When we arrived amidst a thunder storm, we saw the river was murky brown from some flooding upstream! This disheartened many in the group including myself, so we hung out at the stout below waiting for the boys to show up. Once they were finished Ian offered to let me borrow his drysuit for the big boy. I accepted and we headed back down to fire it up. Upon arrival we found the falls murky brown and the nasty boil in the entrance back. This saddened everyone greatly, but we didn't feel like hiking our boats up and decided to give her.
Kyle decided to give her first. He had a pretty sick line and was stoked at the bottom!
Kyle paddling through the powerful surges.
Jackson went next and had his skirt implode. Then Alex followed with a good line getting kicked out a bit. I went next not wanting to play clean up and had a sweet line.
Styling the line and loving life! On my last stroke before the tuck.
Rolling up and catching my breath after going super deep!
Chris had an interesting line that ill post at a later date. All in all it was a good day with mostly good lines!
