 The snow has been melting up here for a few weeks now and all the Voss Rafting staff are here, it was time to test the crew on the 'Home Run' the Branseth. It was low water, clear and amazing as ever and our team was looking pretty colourful as we geared up for the full team run. This would be Roberto's day of firsts - his first slide, first creek, first waterfalls in a new boat in a new PFD, so it was bound to be exciting!

 Gizmo Breaks Waterfall record and several vital organs
Your not going to believe this! Just when you thought waterfall records were safe, Gizmo, the mysterious paddler from Norway has blown us all away! We had previously been worried that releasing this footage would encourage the wrong direction in kayaking, but it appears its OK. We would like to point out that Gizmo was seriously hurt on this run and would NOT recommend a 2nd Descent attempt.

 On a Mission! - South Wales - Melte River - flood conditions!
After making a vague plan Saturday night, the boats where loaded and we were on our way to wet Wales in search of water! We suspected there may be water around, but at the take out of the Melte river the flows were not that high. It was pishing down and motivation took some time to pick up. I pulled an Ammo from my quiver, thinking this would be a mellow read a run, but on the drive up there was evidence to suggest this could turn into quite a mission!

 The Waitaha is my favorite run on the west coast of NZ.
It is longer, bigger, and harder than many of the other runs, and has a huge variety of rapids, and even a hour long portage near the end of the day , just to keep you honest!!!

 We just had a great run on the Kokatahi, nearly 10 years since the last one on Als birthday. That one took nearly 12hours, with a team of Arnd, Scorshi, Corkboy,Al and John Mason.
This trip took 6 hours, with local guide Dave Kwant helping cut down on scouts, and we were able to run the Carnage gorge( a 2 hour portage).
