    That launch was a thing of beauty, almost brought literal tears to my eyes!

    Hey Ryan, around 1984ish we used to paddle it and when its really low i always thought u could paddle it without a paddle. The hole above bridge has little or no water going over it and we ran it rh side with tiny hole. Only dodgy bit is the waterfall becomes horseshoe shaped and u can get stuck in it at that level as my m8 did but he flushed out as soon as he pulled tab on his 4m olmpia boat by qaulity kayaks, after doing 5 or 6 endos in the bott hole lol. WORLD 1st, Huka falls no paddle

    Even at low levels, that is a stellar effort. Especially with the Packraft.

    I get so scared just standing on that bridge. There is no way I would ever go down there

    That Valk is so much more narrow than my Wolverine! Bet it is easy to roll (if ya had to). That falls run was flawless!
    Gorgeous water. Where is this? NZ?
