Jet Boating the Rangitata Gorge against the flow of the Rang 

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!!!!

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 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.

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.

This is nuts. Rafted down this a few times but didn’t reckon it was possible to boat up!

great shit guys... very impressed. Will put that on the 'to do' list

nice work jonesy

farrkn good effort lads that shits insane!!

That looks DANGEROUS!!! it would be so much safer after the Dairy industry lowered the water level!!

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

Conquer? Or are you agreeing with the rapids?

i seen duncan go up the pinch think thy turned round at rooster tail came back down they had a boat konk out below the rdr intake

That is really close to the Rogue River in Oregon.... Would have loved to shoot that rapid crazy river...

Good skills

Rob Gerade did it many years back

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?
