It is the rock jumble right after the first wave train at the putin.

A move that my buddy explained to me was the ironically named, Mega Death Slot 3000, which is done in that rapid, where you go into a slot made of sieves, but in a kayak you can go right over it.

I believe that is the slot that the rafter swam into.

Not initiation...

It is horrible news and my condolences go out to the people this  this person  knew.
