In low water it doesn't really matter what you do or where you shoot it but things change in higher flows. When there's a full release, such as we're having the last few weeks, the easiest place to go over the weir is on river right (same side as the park) and go through/over the green wave. Make sure that you're facing forward and have plenty of speed. If you're more confident you can do what you want. What happens ...

Airbags are a safety issue as important as a buoyancy aid or a helmet.
Remember that a boat with 200L volume weight 200kg+ when full of water.
