Today, me and Devin got to put a few new notches on our belts. Run Canyon Creek at a good flow. The water was 1-2 inches below the platform which makes it the highest we have run it. It's makes the run much more interesting than the low flows of 8-10 inches below. Most all the lines seems to stay the same. Terminator is a little more challenging in that you have to drive up and over a diagonal to reach the far left side to avoid the hole.

The other goal was to run multipal laps on it. Brooke, who I've met before was sitting at the take-out looking for someone to run with so Devin jumped at the offer so we ran shuttle and fired it up again. It was nice this time to just fire off Big Kahuna Falls and not sit at the lip forever.

One thing I noticed with the Chico Jefe on the run was at Hammering Spot when Devin boofed the right side of the ledge. The boat makes a perfect scoop as the nose resurfaces quickly and on line. Very impressive and should make a nice difference for the Canyon Creek Race.
