question Identify a few please, if the Big 5 on the Upper G are considered IV+? <NT> Ed_E.Hopper New
note west coasters run IV stuff at high water and call it a big water V all the time roscoepwavetrain New
note 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
note gotcha roscoepwavetrain New
note 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
note And all east coasters call every waterfall they run a class V carberrywave New
th_up wow, that's a compliment! roscoepwavetrain New
note A bit of an exageration, I know, but the generalization is too blatant........ carberrywave New
note Shouldn't this question use the NF Payette as a definition, which runs until October? carberrywave New
note because the nf payette is about 10 times harder than the gauley? jkodadek New
disagree Name a few of those runs, please jkodadek New
smile Remember, Roscoe was joking, couldn't you tell by his tone? <NT> carberrywave New
