Well its been a pretty busy past week mishing it round the North Island catching up with mates in Welly and getting raucous in town then coming back up here only to head down to Taupo, pick up Matt Burton, and head on over to the Hawkes bay where there had been a ton of rain and Sam Roil had some creeks and possible first D's lined up for us.
At the put-in. What awaits us, who knows?
First of many narrow little drops.
Sam on the biggest drop on the river.
Me on the same drop - boof, avoid rocks, sweet as!
Sam on a tight little chute
Matt running a rapid I wouldnt really call a clean one. The line is more or less paddle over the seive then get your boat grabbed and pulled over the next part of the seive. Didnt work so well for me.
Sam running a rather difficult and sticky hole.
Shot for the mish boys, and thanks to Matt for the photos.
