This rainbow trout was one of 11 in the pool.  Because of the ultra crystal clear water they were a bit wary - but one which Bill did land weighed 6 lbs.

Tutea Falls

Kaituna River
Rotorua, New Zealand.

Said to be the world's highest commercially rafted waterfall at 7m (23 feet).

Depending on the surge in the pool, there is good opportunity for a flip.

The rafts often disappear in the foamy stuff momentarily.

When the boat surfaces right-side-up and drifts into the greener water, there is a moment for celebration and a smile for the camera.

When a boat flips, the photo is delayed until the guide rights the raft, collects the crew and gets the smiles to re-emerge.

Bravado at its best.

The Wairoa is a hydro generation controlled river near Tauranga which has dam release flows for recreational purposes 26 days a year.

 

It is a short Class V run which sees plenty of mayhem.

Incept captures the spirit of adventure in Alaska:

I just went on a trip with 4 girlfriends and we used our Incept C42T inflatable canoe.  We went to an area near Dillingham in southwest Alaska and were taken by float plane to Kulik Lake in the Wood Tikchick State Park.  It's huge and it's all lake paddling but the canoe was magnificent.

We called it the "hooter barge".  All my friends enjoyed paddling in it - it was a comfortable vessel.
