Walked up the track to the grade 3 put in. Me, Martijn and Gretchen left our kayaks down the track and walked up to check out the rapid to see if we wanted to paddle it or not. Me and Martijn decided to do it. We put in behind Greg and Jimmy. Martijn followed down after Greg and i paddled down after jimmy. My line turned out to be one of the best which was a relief. Although the consequences after the rapid is minimal if you roll. Heaps of room to roll back up. Carried on down the river. Ended up rolling twice in one rapid after the big rapid tipping one after another because of hitting into a rock. No Problems though. Headed on down to the gorge and jumped off the high jump again. Met Jimmy at the take out because he'd forgotton his deck so only paddled the top rapid then got out to run the shuttle for us.
Overall it was a successful day.
