Ngaruroro River at Kuripapango (oxbo)

This section of the river was my proving ground. This river is an awesome grade two stretch of buffers, play holes and at the right flow, waves. This is a great stretch of river in the Hawkes Bay that you can learn and improve your boating on. Plenty of space for nice eddy turns and just a great river to have a mission down. The river can be paddled any where from as little as 900mm the online gauge can be found at http://www.hbrc.govt.nz/Water/RiverLevels/. The paddle is a great 1-2 hour paddle depending on the speed of your team...enjoy

The get in is along the Gentle Anny road in a camping/pull over area on you right hand side.
The get out is located further along the road, about 6 km. once you go over the bridge there is a rest area on your right just before a sharp left hand bend, that's the spot. A good indicator for the get out is the bridge, if you go past it you have gone to far.
