Jesse Wilson on Big Splate

Last weekend we were fortunate to have warm temperatures and good water. With that combination I headed to the Lower Big Sandy both Saturday and Sunday for couple memorable runs. The level held all weekend around 6.4* and there were a few first time Big Splat runners.

Big Splat is a class 5 rapid approximately half way down the run. It is unique compared to the rest of the run due to a consequential approach and massive house size boulders. This rapid is probable the most documented on the run. Above is the shot of the weekend. The picture is of Jesse Wilson a kayak instructor with Riversport School of Paddling running the final drop of Big Splat.
