Taupo river paddle on today

Heading down to Taupo today with a crew to do a river paddle on the inflatables. Im going to drop everyone at the control gates in town, they're then going to cruise down to the bottom of Spa Park for a hot swim on the side of the river and then (if they can get themselves out of the hot water!) head down to Reids Farm to have a go in the rapids. Bruce Webber's also taking a crew down as well and has kindly offered to shuttle us back up to town for more runs... how good are these kayak guys!
