Who on this website is into white water sports(Kayaking/rafting) I personally am, and actually got worked pretty bad this weekend in a class 4 hydraulic on the black river here in upstate ny(Mary's hole). I punched through it fine(Ran true path not exactly the best line at high water) by accident. And, i realized i was off my original line i was like 'ohhhh s*** paddle paddle paddle' and i noticed about 15 feet before i hit the hole it was a HUGE hydraulic(like 5x bigger then usual), and then i instantly went ghost white. So, i cleared in, let out a sigh of relief, and i start paddling, and i realize i'm not going anywhere, i'm actually going back wards, and that's when i realized i was gonna get 'may tagged'(Recirculated like in a washing machine) so after about 3 of 4 minutes of getting tossed around in there with my boat i ended up getting spit out. made for an exciting weekend!
