After an introduction in calm water on the basic
riversurfing techniques we start our trip just below
the power station at The Elbow. After meeting the
river gods in the waves of The Gap we come to our
first main rapid, Man Eater, named after the first
big wave, which is the largest on the sectior! The
next rapid we come to is Rollercoaster, a 180 m long
wave train graded class 3 whitewater, the perfect
spot to try out your barrel rolls. Not too long to
catch your breath cause the next rapid is not far
away: Dead Cow. This rapid got its name from some
kayakers who found a dead cow stuck on a rock. The
cow is not there anymore but the name of the rapid
has stuck. Dead Cow is the best place on the river
to try some squirting (flying under water)- take a
ride on the “Elevator to hell.” This squirt
takes you down a couple of metres into the darkness
before shooting you back up to daylight, all in a
matter of seconds! Just before the take out we offer
you the chance to do a rock jump. Backflips and swan
dives are encouraged! After this first training run,
we take you back to the top, and sometimes a bit further,
and take on the entire 6 km section all over again.
Now that you know what to expect, you can try to catch
every surfing wave, squirt and whirlpool you missed
in the first run.
