How to Run McCoys Rapid by Kyan Vigoda

There are 5 main lines on Mccoys rapid: left sneak, right sneak, right boof, Saettlers, and Phil’s tongue. Left sneak is on the far left shore and goes around a secluded corner. It is an extremely easy line but does become very rocky or unrunnable at lower water. Right sneak and right boof are on the right shore with sneak directly along the shore and boof a foot or two out. These lines are fairly easy and are good for kayakers less comfortable with the rapid. To run Saettlers paddle hard over or through Saettlers hole and try to end up towards football eddy and away from Phil’s. Phil’s tongue is between both sides of Phil’s hole and will push you straight through if lined up correctly.
