Hey Nigel. Baden is hooked on your videos. They are awesome watching on the 60" telly. This one up the Rangitata tacking the rooster was incredible!! cheers Clare
I'd love to know what kind of engines these boats are running. We have rivers here in Idaho that these boats would run BEAUTIFULLY. There's starting to be a small NZ-style movement here, meanchicken is buzzing with it now. Good shit, Nigel.
Ben McLeod Station, Forgot the name of the dude but was told by Onwer of Jet stream Services in Christchurch 3yrs back.. Looking at doing top of Hurunui on the 23rd
Hats off to you boys!! I live up gorge and only heard of one other boat getting up, been on the to do list for awhile but never knew what cubis it could be done..looked up was running 170!! You guys locals?
Year both based in South Canterbury, Who was the other boat you heard of getting up ? was it Duncan Storrier ? I heard he lost a couple of boats in there, where abouts is your place up the gorge ? it was running about 150 when we went through
Wow - what a cool river, glad your gang and your boats made it without harm. 7:09 was a bit concerning... Excellent jet boating vid, nicely done!!!!
I concur......time for a beer after you "conquered" the hardest rapid.

Nice; did you guys change the impeller pitch a bit, to compensate for hauling those giant balls you all have with you.
Well done.
Awesome stuff guys, didnt think that could be done. Hats off to ya.
Keep up the good work

This is nuts. Rafted down this a few times but didn’t reckon it was possible to boat up!
That was an awesome run, good to see you made it through.
Bloody awesome. Hell of rush getting up them rapids I bet
That looks DANGEROUS!!! it would be so much safer after the Dairy industry lowered the water level!!
great shit guys... very impressed. Will put that on the 'to do' list
