Lower Rauma

I always tried to go there but there was always a probleme with time,water levels and work, but this day I was ready to go, well I did no kayak much before but I was ready to give it a try, and there I was getting changed, and with a cool group of friends and fucking good weather we fired it up.
Lower Rauma is one of the must run river here in Norway, beautyful 3 kilometers of pure drops and pools,the Fluid Solo is just a perfect boat for this kind of rivers...
The Put in is a perfect 10 meters slide drop followed by a nice pool, the number 2 is a smaller drop, there is when we met the Ulva river, another fucking good run, beutyful scenary around, number 3 is just awesome, number 4 is pretty intimidating and crazy fast slide drop, then number 5, fuckingtastic!!!!,then number 6, number of the beast, super nice slide with a big auto boof at the end, preatty shallow on the rigth( my buddy Diego broke his rebs the day after), after that, small drops, and then, the well know flemming drop(massive 18 meters drop) for me that day not too much water, making the landing a bit harder.
Take a look at the pics....
