I was just headed out for a drive and ran into Rob, Adrian and Sam, just getting off a run from Split Rock and about to head up for a full run from the confluence. Got some video at boulder... but the river was too damn fast to chase them and get more. I think they did confluence to big eddy in under 15 minutes. Flow was between 55 and 60K. "padded out"

Nice, glad someone got footage of that!  I think there's an unofficial rule that D1 is supposed to be in any video that has that soundtrack though. ;)

It's all fun and games until someone loses a paddle.

Ok, I downloaded the file, after 30 minutes because I am wireless in the field. I still cant get the MP4 to play video, just audio. Very frustrating!!!! Why cant people just use utube?????It is so much easier to watch videos!!!! I am done here...out.....

Sure James. This won't take up much space on a DVD, so how about I throw in some midget-porn as well?

Good footage, thanks for sharing! I'm glad I got to see what it looked like with someone in it... and yep, they looked like little specks in there. Still looked like they had a blast though!

Yeah... the water looked big just scouting from the shore... but add a boat in for perspective and it really gave a better idea how big it was. I didn't really shoot the biggest stuff either... I just shot what I was able to get a good look at. There was stuff on the river plenty bigger than what you could see in the video.

I was by the river the last time it was at the 60K range and saw some guys "float on by"

I even knew one of the the guys who was joining the rest at Split Rock (Ben Hawthorne).  He mentioned his PP name but I forget.

Since this place seems to have it's share of "crazies" :-) (I mean that as a compliment), maybe if we got some notice the next time, we could arrange for some serious professional videography.  Two - Three camera's with stabilization and serious zoom

A pro can spend 2 hours and make some serious kayak porn ;-)

I think such a shoot could rival the SLP shoots of the Niagara Gorge (Well.. maybe not quite...)

This is not to say that this video is not AWESOME

Someone soon, I ought to stop merely reading PP and getting back on the water.  Aaahhh well.... I guess I should take what I can get ...

The hole is the last ledge on Eagle Falls.
