Save my beer
Wenatchee river fest 2008
I think I need to go and get a pretty good beer now. PGB
That is a bad ass photo. Kinda made my insides tickle. I wish it were boating season down south.

I gave up on embedding. It was mean to me.
That flip and re-flip at about 2:15 was pretty wild. I really enjoyed it.Quote:

The best part is that the dude on the front left is still going for the paddle tap on the rock.
Looks like they probably paddled the whole river with the bow in the air. There seems to be a lot of weight in the stern...
Probably a bunch of beer,after all ...they are raftersQuote:

And yes, he rowed out of it clean!!:D
Can you explain anymore about this line? Having never boated back east, I have no idea, but the guide looks like a chump in this video... driving the boat waaaay too hard river left, with a terrible ferry angle, and doesn't even go for the high-side (as opposed to the guide in that Alarm Clock photo)... just pretty much gives up.Quote:

We had done the lower the day before (apparently without him paddling at all) and when he saw us coming up on this class V the next day, he finally started paddling aggressively and that pushed us well off our intended line.
I guess that's what happens when you take an inexperienced paddler into serious whitewater. He usually adapts well to situations like that, but having never been in whitewater before, he just kind of freaked out. We still had a great time though and that swim was definitely the most memorable experience of the trip.
hehehe, sorry, but that guy either meant to dump ya, or really wasn't paying attention. I'm betting on option one!!!Quote:

i used to always say that highway rapid on the gorge run was caused by a bus when i was guiding but photographic proof would be awesomeQuote:
