>>2542922me and two friends entered a kayak race last weekend. wasn't interested in winning so we hung back. didn't realize the river at this depth had some mild rapids. never really dealt with them in the past. last time a friend and i went down this section was after a flood so all the rapids were 15 feet under water. one friend had never went down river, only lake. the other never been in a kayak at all. he got dumped by this one, bumped his head, lost his boots and his paddle. called the guy running the event and he brought another paddle and guided us the rest of the way. absolutely awesome dude. said we gave him an excuse to get out on the water himself. lol
