A colleague in New Zealand sent me this video of a local kayaker taking to the river he normally paddles to try some of the same rapids on a jet ski. The waterfall that he is jumping off of is on the Kaituna River near Rotorua NZ and is the worlds highest commerically rafted water fall (Tueta Falls) which is 7m (21ft).

I’m nearly finished with the preview of the AR World Series events for 2010; I’ve now moved on to the late August race in the Lake District of the UK called the addidas Terrex race.
The Lake District, or Cumbria, is along England’s Western coast; nestled between Wales and Scotland, the Lake District is a popular tourist destination and home to all of England’s tallest mountains. The Terrex organizers have been planning races for 5 years and know this region intimately, so the event should be an exceptional 3-4 day tour (August 27-30) of all the area can offer.
Professional and amateur adventure racing teams from around the world will converge on Nord-Pas de Calais, a picturesque region in the North of France for five days of competitive stage racing from June 23rd through 27th. Organized by adventure racing legend Karine Baillet, Le Grand Raid features the standard AR disciplines in accessible format with a reasonable entry fee. A considerable cash purse has attracted top international teams to commit ahead of time, and the racing is sure to be competitive.
