A term widely accepted in the
white-water kayak community to refer to large variations of river elevation, most often stout refers to a waterfall, but can often refer to smaller drops in elevation with high flow. Most often people do not refer to small drops with
low flow as "stout", since stout has an apparent scale of "stoutness". Palouse falls for example is extremely stout, whereas something small like Trick or Treat falls on the
Quyon River, is only kinda stout, but still fun to huck nonetheless.
Hog's back falls was looking hella stout today, but still looks
runnable.
Looks like the Rouge is flowing at 30 cms!!! Let's go huck some stouts!!!
John swam after running that burly stout this morning, he still owes a
booty beer later tonight!
