15/02/2008 - The Manakazo river proved to be the highlight of the trip; 3 days of high quality whitewater including slides, waterfalls and technical rapids.  The boys put on this first d with only an old 250,000 to 1 scale map from 1969 (the latest edition available in Mada), with hopes of finding a bridge somewhere downstream and counting on their driver to find the same bridge.  They arrived 3 days later successfully descending this classic section and leaving only 3 drops un run.  Here are some of the photos from this incredible river.

First D - Monkman Creek, Tumbler Ridge – British Columbia

Posted by bobby johnson on 28 September 2007 | 4 Comments

Rush, Patrick, Brooks and Tyler were joined by Nelson BC hucker Mikkel St. Jean. With boats loaded for 3 days away the boys headed deep into Grizzly country in Tumbler Ridge Provincial Park (which had just reopened after having been closed due to 3 Grizzlies that had been “causing a lot of grief”). From the photos and info we had the 20km hike in would lead us to 10 good to go trail-side drops in the 30-80 footer range… Unfortunately most of the drops turned out to be not so trail-side and not so good to go (rocks in landing, bad lips – some would be better with more water) The group still managed to get on a few great drops and some fun rapids on the paddle out.
