Title: Lots of rain = BIG WATER!
Post by: JohnCyr on March 13, 2011, 12:02:26 AM

Went on a lil mission today with some friends to find the Black at flood stage levels...

18 000+ cfs of big water, Loggs/Ice/Propane tanks/Basketballs dodging, Ginormous Coliseum at High water boil lines and Nasty undercuts along the canyon walls... I know it sounds unpleasant but it was great... Ran a 1km section from below the dam to Hole Bros... took under a minute.. Found a Garb like wave with eddy access... And Hole bros was a shore to shore Big hole! ICS wasnt so great...a bit flushy...

Oh and knifes edge had a hole that made Phils hole look like BYOB. Buseater aing got nothing on this...

Heres some teasers...
