Authorities are condemning the act of kayaking a 300' dam spillway in Wales. Woot! Look at how high that first guy skips off the hole at the bottom! And, damn, if that second guy has any sense he had to change his underwear after his run, those low-head hydraulics created by flat ledges can be deadly (because the upstream ledge is uniform, there's no irregular spots in the hole through which you can escape).

Wow, I'd love to do that. Absolutely awesome looking. Also probably a tad safer than what I normally do in the Kern River anyway...
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
