Waimakariri Gorge Paddle - Jan 13, 2023
We kayaked from Mt White Bridge to the Gorge Bridge as part of training for the Coast to Coast. The Otarama gauge was at 53 cumecs (very low).
I had some issues with water on the lens, so did not get usable footage of the Rock Garden 2 entry rapid this time. We learned from another group that there is a small sneak chute to bypass this rapid 100m up-river (on river left).
2:15 - Vortex Mega Howler (~36-37 km) - Main chute pushes hard into a large rock/wave. General advice is to take the far left chute to avoid carnage. Should have been a portage at this flow (as the signs set up for the Rasdex Classic advised..!)

We kayaked from Mt White Bridge to Woodstock with Ryan from Topsport as part of training for the Coast to Coast. The Otarama gauge was at 75 cumecs. I have included some chapter references / notes on a couple of the trickier rapids below. 2:40 - Rock Garden 2 (~7-8 km) - Large waves at the start of the rapid. Paddle hard to keep right and away from the action. Apparently there is also a sneak c...

Challenging 2013 weather conditions made for an exciting event. This trekking CP (on the top of Mt Constitution) was the first that we picked up. www.sanjuanislandquest.com/
Great video, thanks. I did the trip yesterday for the first time in almost 20 years.
Nice - we paddled this on the 27th Jan at 41 cumecs - def wasn't any sneak chute away from Rock Garden 2 on that day or flow.....Mega howler was similar to your run, last chute but really had to scrape down it
Go the RAPTOR! Thanks for pulling this together man - nothing from Rock Garden #2?
