Hydrospeed & tubing on the Fonce
The Fonce at eye level: bodyboard the rapids, or ride them in a pro tube.

Hydrospeed & tubing on the Fonce
WhereThe grade 2–3 rapids of the Río Fonce, the same river as the classic half-day raft.
Hydrospeed is bodyboarding down rapids: you, a float board, fins and the Fonce's grade 2–3 water — which feels much bigger at eye level. Macondo's notes describe about an hour on the river with safety kayakers, and say it's best in the morning when the river is higher.
Tubing on the Fonce isn't the lazy-river kind either: professional tubes on the same grade 2–3 rapids, again backed by safety kayakers. Hydrospeed for the wild version, tubing for the giggling one.
