Fish Ladder/Bladder riding

[NW Lover]

Went to Horseshoe Bend to the fish ladder today, flow is down so the the bladder is not rolling.. But the fish ladder and the rapids up river were movin!!

In spring the Payette river rapids and the Bladder/Fish ladder are the closest thing a landlocked rider can get to ocean riding..

Kawi, I am going to use the green/grey surf boat on the river.. I ran my girls ski today, I was afraid I would thrash it!! Cory beat his up pretty good on the ladder.. Your SXI would be perfect!!! Yank the 800 out of the SXR for the weekend!! LOL!!
Lets slap the oto ski's together after the FX1 is dialed in..

I Hope an Enviromentalist does not get ahold of this video. You don't even stand next to a fish ladder here without risking trouble let alone riding by or in one.

IDK about the legality of riding jet skis there, but I know it's legal for kayaking and such.

haha Kayak's have priority over everything here including float planes, The Granola's love Kayak's they are the problem here! Oh but if it has a motor in it lookout. :Banane26:

Its not an actual fish ladder, it just looks like one. Its a kayak training facility. For the most part, the kayakers and us get together just fine. But theres always a couple jerks(on both sides).

Its about ten feet deep below the bladder. Only a couple rocks, Ive never hit them, just kicked them when floating through.

Theres a lot better footage somewhere, Sarah just had to make herself look amazing compared to everyone else.
