Rafting and Hashi Kura!!!!

Hello all here is an up date from the last few weeks, had super high water so been running Oboke lately but my last YR1 was on Koboke at 98cm which was a sick day having my first Koboke flip for the season!
Me and the team glad to be out of Magarido in one piece!
Yea Magarido was huge, but wicked fun!

Even Nidan had a massive hole in it!

High Water!

Just a small update, Its been pretty wet here Japan got hit by a typhoon so it pissed down with rain and rafting got canceled for 2 days! But managed to do some pretty high volume Creeking which was sick! Just chilling out at the moment after a pretty stressful week with some interesting things to say the least happening on the river! But all is well and as the water level drops the season goes on!Hope ever one is well and enjoying there winter in NZ!
