A few random photos, and photos of an awesome three-day high-water trip to the coast. Warm-up for new year!
 Plug on the Styx, ditch low flows the day after the exterme race--the only photo I took without a pin
 
 Mid-week Rangitata trip

 Rangitata gorge chase-boat team. Still waiting to see helmet cam footage
 
 Wading up to Toaroha waterfall, high flows
 
 Bug loving hour 2 of the walk-in
 
 Waterfall looks even gnarlier when overexposed
 
 Quite a lot of towback, we didn't run it
 
 Henry on the Toaroha
 
 IMGP7250
 
 IMGP7251
 
 Henry on Blackball creek, medium flows, second landslide rapid
 
 The pinned boat missed by 2 chase-boaters and by its owner--found it when walking back up to meet Henry
 
 Henry+boat back in action on nine mile slide
 
 Bug getting up-to-speed on Nine Mile Slide
 
 Over the kicker
 
 Just missed catching Bug mid-air at the bottom
 
 Styx at much better flow!!
