Jonas Savšek stomping
After the freestyle competition we moved to the Jahmp™ training. I don’t know if the reason was the bad weather or just the mere size of the ramp but only 9 men and 3 women decided to try themselves in big-air competition.

TO THE SOUTH ISLAND
Tuesday was the day to hit the road to South Island. But there was one more stop we had to do before. We had to go to the Bliss Stick factory to get some brand new Mystic boats we were going to use in the south. That definitely sounds easier than it turned out to be. While it should have taken us about three hours to get there, we made one wrong turn just before the factory and ended up doing an additional hour and a half on a dirt road. At least we got to see some sheep. Well actually we saw a lot of sheep, more sheep than I have probably seen before in my entire life.
GNARLY GORGE
After running the MacLarens Falls, Monday was no day to rest. We hooked up with Mike, Matic Lesjak, Louise Jull, Ciaran Heurteau and Roselyn Lawrence to run the infamous Gnarly Gorge. Gnarly is a narrow gorge that starts just bellow the Okere Falls run on Kaituna River. It is claustrophobic, steep and tree infested, which makes it a fearsome and dangerous run. You can never really tell if there are no trees blocking the whole gorge until you run it. Any new tree is a potential death trap.
