Well here we are again folks! Through blood sweat and tears, bleating, yelling and so much good kayaking the season has come to its inevitable close. This summer has been on of the best in Okere falls, with friends from all over congregating to this small town and having an awesome time chilling together and enjoying these beautiful waterways of the Kaituna river!
This year had one of the best jobs in the business working at Kaituna Cascades. Running Rafting, Kayaking and Topoduo tours down this amazing river, the best in the world some might say! Warm water, super safe and a few awesome waterfalls, Kaituna you are amazing! This summer I even got to show my Parents what this place is all about for the first time. Now its all about sorting out the house and running as many laps as possible on this whitewater gem before we all disperse to all corners of the globe. Here's a selection of the sickest photos from this seasons shenanigans on and off the water!! Enjoy!

Hi Sam,
ReplyDeleteShaun here, Whitewater NZ Safety officer. Do you mind if we grab a couple of your Kaituna images to add to an article we're preparing currently regarding Lu Jull's coroners inquest? We're trying to showcase these gorges and convince authorities not to close them.
Thanks,
Shaun
