Rapid 16

Also known as: South Seas entry

Rapid 16 is the first rapid within the South Seas core of Mile Long. At moderate flows it runs as a distinct wave-train drop after Capsize; at high water it becomes the upstream end of the continuous South Seas sequence (Rapids 16–19). At moderate flows, Rapid 16 runs as a distinct drop below Capsize with recovery water below. At high water it's the upstream entry to the South Seas wave-train core (Rapids 16-19) and Mile Long's character becomes one continuous push.
