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

Even at low levels, that is a stellar effort. Especially with the Packraft.
Dude nice line too!!! That dip right before the drop was mint!!!
Very cool 😎

Nice! Just bought a pack raft too! Might try this tomorrow

Nice. It's true that the brave may not live forever but do the timid ever really live at all? Bet Tracey wasn't watching ;-)

Its really basically, a grade 2/3 run with consequences ( not unlike a strainer) at that flow.... Still take commitment too put in, thought...
Best. Boof. Ever.
Is that legal?
Yep totally legal
@@ryanbabybirdlucas awesome! I’m surprised we don’t see more of it
@@ryanbabybirdlucasonce upon a time, the legality was a little debated.... That was untill lots of people had run it....
