Thread: Jet boat accident

Presumably this is between Maraekakaho and Whana. They take some risks when the river is low or get too close to the trees for an adrenaline rush. Going to raft it next week.

I was there this week. The river is the best ive ever seen it .
It was low and tricky in a lot of places but where the accident happened wasn't so bad , under the bridge on SH50.
All reports so far say he was doing nothing wrong and in the company of some experienced boaters .
Hes had some bad luck and its a sad day indeed, both for the family and the sport.
I hope the passenger gets well soon too .
