Savage River Boof Lines
Просмотров 4644 месяца назад
Savage River in Western Maryland at 1k CFS. This only runs guaranteed three days a year but is always a blast. The lines aren't always perfect but it should give you an idea of where some of the good boof spots are. The rapid names used here are what I have heard in the past but may not be 100% accurate, and in one instance I just used the name of my friend who showed it to me.
Gobbled Up in the Big Water at Little Falls

Level was 7.17. Getting to the take out is pretty sketchy at this level as you have to make a tough ferry in the middle of strainers.

The level was 6.5. This is a super fun level if you have a bombproof roll and strong ferrying skills to dodge strainers.

Level was somewhere around 8.1-8.2, approximately 75k CFS. I would not recommend it at this level. Our five person crew had 10 flips in 100 yards of whitewater and it is difficult to brace and roll in the boils. The wave holes are too chaotic to get a good surf on. The risk/reward just feels off. I scouted it at 6.5 a couple days later which looked like significantly better waves for surfing.
Be Man Not Boy: First Time Down the Lower Big Sandy

Level was 5.8. Thanks to Art and Alex for guiding me down, and Sarah and Liz for being part of the crew! Having good beta and safety gave me confidence to face the dangers of Big Splat. Note that on Big Splat the optimal line is just left of where I was, and that I ran some non-standard lines on other rapids like Zoom Flume and Little Splat.

    As someone who only paddles out on Lake Huron it was amazing to see how the water grabs the back of these boats. That feeling must be interesting to get used to. It sure does look fun though and I could fit twice as many of these style kayaks than I can my 12 footers. Sweet perspective, thanks for the video

    Incredible footage!!!! I had a swim on high water near harpers ferry last January and it shook me to the core. The power of that much water in that gorge is insane! My high water winter runs may be a thing of the past.

    • @boofsandbeaters

      Due to the power of the water, dangerous currents, wood, and the consequences of a swim I would call it Class V, certainly at least 4+

    I live in MD & been to the falls hundreds of times both on the Virginia side & MD. I remember when it was free to go to the MD. side which is not free anymore & i go back to the 70s fishing & hiking the park & i thought i was nuts for going to the old Silver Mine & crawling back in the cave to party as a teen. This is something i would be scared to death to do so up to the Monocacy i go to Kayak Fish . You guys are brave as hell & from listening to what your run will be i can tell your not fool hardy but very well experienced . Stay safe out there & i'll just be happy if i catch some good fish ... I did go down the MD. side some weeks after Hurricane Agnes & that was one scary and mean river which easily took out the old bridges that allowed you to see the main falls , i take it they have since fixed that as i have not been down that way for some time .

    This kinda reminds me of my first time in the New River Gorge. The river was right at 12 feet and big eddy walls. Whale hole was huge and Seldom Seen was a bunch of moving, exploding waves. Absolutely loved it in my Seda Dart, but the trees in the river were scary...

  • @Chompchompyerded
    @Chompchompyerded 6 месяцев назад

    "That was terrifying." Really? Really? Terrified is much more calm and serene than I would be able to muster on that. To me, it looked like being within an inch of your life. I would never have guessed that you'd have time to be terrified. For me, it would have been the zombie stare from the moment I entered the water. Seeing exploding boils from shore is enough to make me soil my wet suit. And on top of that you have wooden alligators floating around everywhere you look. Yeh, that was death on steroids. All I can say is that you guys have the skillz. Way to send it!

    I paddled back in '70-71 ish. C1 , heavy boat sluggish but stable. Hard to tell , but @7:25 or so that looks like what we used to call "Difficult run ,md side". Once, while waiting my turn to surf the stacks, I was holding onto a rock with a buddy in his boat next to me. The rock started sinking. Next thing, "TREE!" Someone shouts. I watched a 40 foot long tree with a 15-18 foot diameter rootball "lumber(sorry😂) through. Most amazingly, I could feel the vibrations as it scraped the river bed. You guys are amazing in those "sports cars!"

    You can hear our intrepid kayaker making the characteristic "panic grunts" throughout the meatier part of the video, indicating he is getting his ass kicked. Not that it matters when your roll is bombproof, lol. Well done, a braver man than I.

    Great Falls Maryland!!! Potomac!!! Been there done that!! Remember the flood of I think 1985? We were paddling that same shit with fiberglass, slalom race boats !!! we found half of one of them 30 feet up a tree by the feeder canal couple weeks later when the water came down (Kirk Simon‘s boat - Eric Jackson’s cousin, rest in peace). Huge exploding waves and bathtub effect to the max. Huge trees going by regularly. Whirlpools. Not unlike Zambezi 6 yrs ago or Highwater Colosseum on the Ottawa at 18 about six years ago also Zambezi in a rockstar will always be the craziest!!

    • @boofsandbeaters
