yes, next question <NT> roscoepwavetrain New

Identify a few please, if the Big 5 on the Upper G are considered IV+? <NT> Ed_E.Hopper New

west coasters run IV stuff at high water and call it a big water V all the time roscoepwavetrain New

Big water - Waves that top out at 8ft or better, holes big enough to swallow a semi, giant curlers & reactionaries, etc. Ed_E.Hopper New

gotcha roscoepwavetrain New

I'm from Kentucky, so I'm familiar with this part of the country. I always thought that the Upper G was the benchmark, Ed_E.Hopper New

And all east coasters call every waterfall they run a class V carberrywave New

wow, that's a compliment! roscoepwavetrain New

A bit of an exageration, I know, but the generalization is too blatant........ carberrywave New

Shouldn't this question use the NF Payette as a definition, which runs until October? carberrywave New

because the nf payette is about 10 times harder than the gauley? jkodadek New

Name a few of those runs, please jkodadek New

Remember, Roscoe was joking, couldn't you tell by his tone? <NT> carberrywave New

shhhhhh, jhoeadork likes busting my chops roscoepwavetrain New

90 day season in the west?  Really?  I boated in the east once (Colorado) and thought it was pretty similar to Idaho. <NT> Sid New

Great Falls on the Potomac. Upper Blackwater and NF Blackwater are ... davegg New

Looking for "BIG WATER" class V. The ones you mentioned are steep creek class V's right? <NT> Ed_E.Hopper New

Those are steep big water experiences..... RUwet New

Official Big Water Definition catchaneddy New

Wow, sounds fun... not. GRITS New

Great Falls has 9700+ cfs going over it right now. If that isn't big enough davegg New

I am barely a class IV- paddler. I was just curious as to what is out there this side of fhe mighty Mississip. <NT> Ed_E.Hopper New

Lower Big Sandy over 9, Upper Yough over 4.2, Gauley over 10 grand = Closs 5 <NT> PHILZZZ New

UY goes V well before 4.2' for sure.  3.3' felt like solid V to me! <NT> hardboater New

No wonder you have a very large hole named after you up in canada. <NT> Bradley New

Raquette in New York as well.... RUwet New

For big water Class V, just take the standard runs and add water ckirby New

I'll buy it about the New River Stifler New

a few in the wv area... davidfinney New

Left or right side at Moats Falls onthe Tygart...definately class V big water...especially left side! <NT> hardboater New

5 Falls Chattooga over 3 Feet.  4 Feet is probably legit BIG Yall_Watch_This New

Big water? Hardly fahimaz7 New

Thanks man, now put your cock away and stop swinging it around. <NT> Yall_Watch_This New

Niagra Falls.  I'll hold your beer. <NT> rroberts New

Niagara Gorge, Lachine, Great Falls Potomac, bankfull1 New

Niagara gorge, definetly.  is that in the U.S tho? or bordering it? i bet if you include canada then there are lots more clay54 New

Quebec Province for certain. Stifler New

The Taureau and Malbaie in Quebec would likely meet any discriminating subjective definition... twistedpfister New

And has too many Black Flies Stifler New

having been bit by both... twistedpfister New

Funny story from last Sunday Stifler New

I think Sweetwater Falls in Atlanta at around 8+ feet is a class 5 rapid Otter New

Hell, Factory Shoals is prety interesting at that level. peterelkon New

Sure... crankee New

As I mentioned above.... hardboater New

flood doesn't count...or should be counted differently <NT> jkodadek New

Not really different than spring snowmelt runoff BMan1 New

I think the problem is that there is a difference between a big river and a river with a lot of water in it. arrmike New

CAn't really disagree with that, but BMan1 New

How about the Falls of the Ohio when it's pumping? Otter New

Oceana???...looks big to me eddymoney New
