| Initial Report: | From Boatertalk.com
Sounds like the raft ended-up in the channel between "the boof" line far left (that lands next to the hugely undercut left wall), and the main lines down the right. This is near the top of the Tumblehome drop where most kayakers eddy out left (above a cool cartwheel hole), then ferry hard right to start the rapid. There's a horrible crack/undercut/slot in the middle, which could be a consequence if someone really blows the right-to-left ferry that many Gauley paddlers don't know about. Most of the flow goes under a rock. I've been through it before I knew it was there and it's awful--banged-up and 10 seconds upside-down wiggling before I flushed in my boat.
Word in Fayetteville is that the raft went through there. |
