The largest saltwater rapids in the world. Caused by something like 300million litres of water, moving with the tide, being funneled through a gap only a couple hundred meters wide. That day I went, wasn't a big tide change day, the standing waves were only 8ft high. We caught the Flood (incoming) Tide. I think these Kayakers were part of a group of extreme sport people. They were being filmed at anyrate. More to the point, they were from Michigan

I always get confused when "litres" and "meters" are used. It makes me stop mid-sentence and do rough calculations in my head (which are seldom accurate).

Feet-Yards-Gallons-Pounds. That's all I know. I'll NEVER convert!!!
