Dobo Diver

Dobo Falls isn't the biggest falls on Silver Creek but it is probably the hardest. Most of the water going over this drop funnels down into this ugly fold on the right, necessitating a strong ferry/boof combo on the river left side.

The first time this guy ran this falls he slid right down the fold (pictured) and was under water so long we thought he was never coming out! When he finally did pop up he climbed out in frustration and ran the falls again with much the same results. This guy is determined, though, and after hiking his boat up a third time he cleaned the boof on the left!
