Hi Ben,

Got snagged once between 3 trees trying to squeeze through a narrow gap... and at 5.2m it doesn't turn too well in grade 2 rapids
First day I took mine out on a river ( also a grade 2 but very tame at this time of the year ) I came down through a riffle, didn't quite steer hard enough to port and ended up wedged in a willow. It had these three branches sticking out into the river, I managed to slot in between them so I had two branches underneath and one on top. It was gripping me sort of like one of those claw things you use to hold test tubes :-). It took a fair bit of gymnastics to get out. My brother was having fits of laughter, but I thought I did pretty well to extricate myself without going in :-). My kayak is only 4m, but it isn't super maneuverable.
Regards,
Jo
