About three weeks ago Christina and I got a chance to head over to Bosie, ID to get some playboating action in. We got a chance to spend two full days on the wave with some good flows thanks to the big winter snow pack. Friday night we camped out at the bladder wave after a 7 hour drive from Bend, and woke up early the next morning to jump onto the wave.
The Gutter wave sits on river left of the Payette and the Bladder wave sits on river right. Gutter is normally in at lower flows while the bladder is in at higher flows. We both jumped in and tried out the Gutter before heading over to the Bladder. FYI the gutter was a little to shallow to throw anything good.

After a few rides on the Gutter we headed over to the bladder wave.
