I flipped and swam in the Ell once.  As I came out of the canoe upside down all the air in my WHOLE drysuit went to my ANKLES!!  

My buddy who threw me a rope said when he first saw me I was upside down and my feet were runnin' Hell bent for wherever!

Because all the air was in my ankles, I had a VERY hard time getting myself right side up again.  

The upside of it was that we learned what "BullFroggin'" is.

BullFroggin' is swimming a rapid on purpose with alot of air in your drysuit.  

BullFroggin' O&W at 3,000 c.f.s. was WAY COOL!!  So much so that I had to hike back up and DO IT AGAIN!!

Then I had to take off my drysuit and give it to the guy that I had borrowed it from so HE could go BullFroggin'.

BullFroggin' YEEE HAAAAH !!
Ankle baloon swim   BLEH!
