April 12. Wow, mid April and already a swim. Hope its not a sign of a bad year. Entrance drop of Matson Canyon at low water is actually a little more challenging. There is know eddy on the right to break down the rapid and a lot more holes in the lead in. In my playboat, I hit the last hole before the pour over entrance. This hole started me in a back ender so I tried to boof the pour over while backendering, flipped got pushed left, tried a roll and missed. Got pushed up against some undercut, sievy rocks. Tried a couple of more rolls but couldn’t get up while being pushed into these rocks. Swam, no gear or lifes lost. Chris G also flipped but hit his first roll and was able to paddle away from the rocks.
