The Sweet Rumble Extreme race was cancelled due to super high water levels.Ugg elected to take his plastic Bullet rather than the composite. On arrival the locals said it was a small boat. The Amot section (class 5) of the Sjoa was very high. During the festival only 6 paddlers ran it: Ugg said it was an emotional humbling experience and in Amot gorge he disappeared deep underwater to emerge spinning in a seam with only 4 inches of bow showing above the water. Rob Coffey got caught in a shed size boil and had many roll attempts - "reminded me of Zambezi in flood". Local Pete Vickers styled it with a cool reverse screw on a bus size pillow but said only ran it once before at that level.
