Sat, 04/28/2007 - 4:43am The Twiss is always good for a laugh. Ignore the comments from "guest", If they had any valid points they would post under a name. Keep up the good work!

Fri, 09/15/2006 - 1:18am Where did this grading debate come from, I dont care what the grade is, It was fun to paddle. I dont think most people care what grade it is. If you are posting I welcome any comments on the video editing, music, layout and feel, i am new to this video production lark. Dont point the obvious out "dont creek in playboats" we know, just could not be arsed lugging the creekers 2k back up the hill JB

Thu, 09/14/2006 - 7:36am Regarding boofing, on both the Twiss and the Swale, is not necessary on every drop, and as I'm sure your aware boofing all the time is not the way to paddle. Making desicions based on what you can see is. Sometimes you don't always get the desicion right, and sometimes you might not be able to boof. Just something to think about. Regarding the grade, it is by no means a hard 5, but is not grade 4 territory (it is certainly not grade 3). There will always be arguments regarding the grades of waterfall runs, due to their nature. In higher flows this river becomes an unrunnable monster and recieves grade 6 in the guidebook, it is not regularly paddled, and includes the portage of a 15 metere drop that lands on rock. Also, because it is in a tight gorge, rescue can often be difficult. Thanks for all your comments. Tom
