Okuku River

The Okuku is haled as Canterbury's best run and come Friday was sitting at a medium flow so off we went!

Our fully loaded car takes on one of the many fords. The run has a fairly dauntingly long shuttle and a hand full of fords along the way. Thankfully we had recruited a shuttle driver which made the outing much more enjoyable.

Ben cruising along. The run has some distance to it (24 kms) and starts slow and builds up. The rapids never get to hard and we made good time.

Joho dropping into a mildly spicy drop. I really enjoyed the runs whitewater, it was nonstop, fast, and just 100% fun.

James getting a face full. You can see Ben, in the blue, down at the end of the rapid.

The end to a great afternoon padding.
