kayak (sdl)

on the 10th I went up to murch with Ari, Rob and Jake. we paddled O sullies run. and the mangles.

first O sullies. it was at high flow wale creek rapid was flat and we were able to paddle the falls. on the first rapid of the run Rob had a swim at the botum and got washed into the boily eddy on the right. i went in behind him to help. after alot of pushing and bumping around in the eddy we mannaged to get him to the bank and my flip line attached to the kayak and him holding the line. i then got out of my kayak and gave him a hand. this odeal was shit for Rob but was good for my rescue skills and i thanked him for that. i even had a roll in the eddy( it was a poor roll but got me up just ) i need to work on getting my paddle right out of the water. i seem to have trubble with this when in the boiles. further down at jet boat rapit we decided to portage it was running a bit above our level today.

The mangles was quite mallow as the flow was less than we expected. but up the top we found a wee creek that had some cool as we drops so we scouted and ran them here is the raw footage.
