Hogsback is running on the low friendly side. Perfect level for a first try. No holes.. Runout is clean.

Need to hop the gates though as the damn isnt free flowing. Need to be discreet.

Same as in the video I posted. Like i said, ill be heading there tomorrow and most likely Saturday.

@ Christian

Nope.. skirt popped on me.. managed to roll up but boat filled up after hitting the first diagonal wave.

@ Jonyak and Peter.. hogsback isnt in. :(

"'Christopher Doubt : They're moving 3 logs from every bay.. after they removed 3 from the first bay it became apparent that the level above the dam is not high enough for any flow. Hogsback will not come in this week."

Ha Ha! I assume you did not pull your skirt voluntarily... Riot boats--with stupidly small cockpit opening, most normal-size skirts are too big and fit loosely! I used to have a Booster, fine old-school boat but water kept pouring in even with the smallest skirt. At least the skirt didn't come off before I sold the boat.

Hogsback Falls - Wednesday 3pm

Good Morning Fellas!!

Have you ever wanted to run the brown, Lay some treats, run the shit, huck some stouts just like the big dawgs are doing? Well, now would be your chance to do so in a safe manner!!

Ok enough with the jokes.. Rumor has it that officials are removing the logs on the right side of the dam, making it possible to run Hogsback again. They are scheduled to remove the logs tomorrow am sometime. The level is currently 2.93 which is low end of runnable, therefore, super easy approach and runout. Please see video for exact same flows but PLEASE... do not copy my line and lack of boof. This video serves as purpose to show that no matter how much you frack up your line... itll never be as bad as mine and everything will be alright.

https://vimeo.com/39835046

Aiming to go there for 3:30pm.. Will update on wether or not the logs have been removed around noon tomorrow!
