Kayaker Pounds Standing Wave Gorge Noon Mist in on a hillside near Tongatapu

Kayaker Pounds Standing Wave Gorge Noon Mist

by Angel Jackson

Thick wet season mist rests on the steep gorge walls near Tongatapu while a kayaker drives the bow down a standing wave. Noon light reflects off the churning water, turning the spray into a sheet of bright white against the dark, wet rock. The kayak tilts sharply under a Dutch angle, showing the sudden drop of the water. Green vegetation rests on the damp hillside above the gorge rim. Droplets hang suspended in the air around the paddler's blade. The water surface ripples violently where the hull cuts through the current. A sharp edge of white foam marks the crest of the wave against the dark water.
