Waimapu

Here is some photos from a very cool mish Pete convinced me to go on yesterday. After a bit of confusion and some conflicting beta we decided to just put on the river and see what was down there. Turns out Phil Mac hadn't paddled this river before and it could definitely become a new classic.

Starts out like this...

Then changes into this...




Pete firing up 'deadweight' falls




Dan testing out the hole



Some synchronised water falling

Pete finding his way down 'Pete's Crack'

Timmy on the Tuna Eater - this rapid has shallow shelf on the river right side, don't go there

Pete bouncing down 'Rocky Road'


Thanks for a great day boys!
