One rapid in particular that excites everyone who drives up Highway 55 is Juicer. This prominant and lengthy rapid is impressive at pretty much any flow. This spring has provided the NF with high water levels that we haven't experienced in 5+ years. At this flow, Juicer flexes itself into this impressive wave train. With one steep wave after the other its a ride that @smstoenner displays ever so perfectly with some air time. Kayakers gain plenty of speed on the river; descending a river like the North Fork requires great amounts of momentum to be able to punch through some of the massive wave-holes. With that comes the option to put in a perfectly timed stroke to boost yourself into the air.

Adventure photographer John Webster took over our Instagram recently, sharing images of his favorite lines from his favorite river, the North Fork of the Payette. “I’m loosely based out of my Subaru Outback,” he says. His work has been featured in international kayaking magazines and he even recently saw some of his images placed in the 2016 Red Bull Illume photo contest.
“My curiosity for characters in the outdoor industry continues to drive my work and inspires me to show new faces and places of the west.”
Here’s some of the work John shared with us for his #My5Lines, 24-hour takeover of The Inertia Mountain’s Instagram.
