    Graham Charles has written a couple of guidebooks covering the main nz whitewater runs.



    If you are talking about less known rivers the
    best way is to scout the river on foot first.

    If looking on google earth, then the most important thing to look for is a place ahead of the white water where the side can be easily reached.

    This enables the rapid to be scouted 'looked at' on foot before it is paddled. Thus determining the safest 'line' or course to take.

    If it cannot be safely paddled the craft can be portaged or lined through it
