Rafting on the Kaituna River Grade 5 New Zealand

[epicfailtron]

@peterr86 how is the waterfall technically class 6

[epicfailtron]

this is not grade 5. it is grade 3, the two waterfalls and the weir are grade 4. grade 5 on this river is much further downstream and not rafted.

[wargasty]

Amazing!!!!

[dextradl]

That just looks likes the best time ever. If you fall out there will it suck ya under or do you just get flushed out?

[MJNutbeam]

Hey French Wombat, it's a great video and perfect background music. Thanks for the memories - I rafted the Kaituna back in the late 80s before it was commercially rafted. What a thrill. Think I must've been one of the first girls to give it a go. Ciao.

Ah I wish this was video & not pictures. that's weird that there were 2 guides in your boat. Looks very technical and awesome.

[terrierpike82]

I hope you guys tipped that guide!!!

[PotatoGunsRule]

What does that last statement mean?

[Geckomayhem]

@PotatoGunsRule I believe he means that the guide considered them to be "French pussies", or pansies, or however you want to put it (wusses, cowards, etc). Just a bit of fun banter - a joke - if I'm interpreting it right. I know his English is a bit odd, but nice photos and great to see such a good time on the river. ;)
