Jori

Date: 16 Aug

Water level: 1.1o (low)

Sweet continious bouldery grade 3-4 run. No scouting needed (at least not at this water level). Got more push after merge with Grøna. Would be awesome at higher flows.

Skjøli

Water level: 1.50. Got in at the gorge. Charged the cataract from the right. Took the left channel where the river divided. Big hole in the middle of the river about 20 meters after the channels merged. Scary, but an awesome adrenalin rush.

Paddlers: Toni, Sam, Colin, Nico, Arrits, Christoph and another German.

Upper Bøvra

Paddled on the Sjoa Festival. Water level: 1.20 (perfect). Did the first challenging rapid - charged it a bit too far to the right, but I was fine. Two portages.
