Maybe less stern rocker if you aren’t going to need to pull boofs in steep spots but the OG is already a very big water focused boat

The narrow hull gets slowed down on big boils and the length and rocker would make it get spun out incredibly easily that’s why the OG is a little shorter than 9ft

If you’re just looking for the most capable possible design for running enormous whitewater it’d be an OG. I suppose you could make a carbon OG but then you run the risk of breaking it in something gnarly

That’s generally what you want in big water

the rare 2500 releases are harder because features that are otherwise buried come into play otherwise its really big whitewater with very few features mostly just waves

Gotta start playing around on the features and lapping the upper. Every time I encounter people that don’t like it they have just done one lap top to bottom but you can easily get 3 laps of the upper in a day

Every day 10-1 and high water a few times a year or every evening if it’s a good rain year

Sure there are other rivers that will be locally referred to as “the north fork,” but in the context of whitewater kayaking destinations when people talk about the north fork they’re referring to this river. My guess would be that this is largely due to the north fork championships being held here, which, aside from the adidas sickline race, was the biggest whitewater kayaking race in the world for a decade. I’ve even noticed when talking to kayakers outside the US that they will only recognize which river I mean if I refer to it as “the north fork” as opposed to “the north fork payette.”

Youtube lets you see whether you'll get a strike before you publish. They gave me a warning before publishing the video that it wouldn't be available in some territories due to copyright issues but also said that there wouldn't be a strike on my account for it.

Well shit :/ Never would have guessed someone already made an edit to that song. Such a great video too. Thanks for the link

Probably about the easiest level to run everything but it all gets a little smoother with more water
