When you’re handed a life jacket, a gigantic poncho and a pair of “aqua socks,” you know you’re in for some water-packed fun. Which was exactly what happened thanks to our friends at [Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours](http://www.whirlpooljet.com). After being told that no amount of waterproof gear would keep us from getting absolutely soaked head-to-toe, we climbed onto one of Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours’ colossal boats and were taken to Devil’s Hole Rapids—where we literally went *underneath* the waves! Being soaked was an understatement. While anticipating each “splash” was fantastically fun, developing a new relationship with Niagara Gorge’s lake water (read: light drowning) was the best part of the tour. Oh, and seeing the hair of one of our programming co-ops—Wesley—get completely drenched and fall perfectly right back into place. Life is good when you’re a Trend Hunter.
