Not kayaking, but I am well over 350lbs and I have rafted a class V whitewater river before.

I did not fall out of the boat, others did in other boats. Nobody in my boat fell out.

Go to your nearest kayak school. It’ll take at least a few days to be able to consistently roll in a pool.
After that, join a club until you know a few people, then avoid clubs like the plague.
In New Zealand we have optional outdoor education last 2 years of high school which is where I learned. A couple of us got right into the boating. Ran the Zambezi blind (box of beer bet) at 18. Had 1 swim after a significant beat down haha

Nantahala river is an excellent river to learn kayaking. 1 because its as safe as rivers get; there's a road right along the whole thing and tons of professionals constantly running it. 2 the rapids are very easy no technicality required. 3 its dam release so there's always water running.

These make it a great beginner river but once you start running remote rivers you won't miss it. The place feels like a whitewater theme park. The final rapid (only class 3) has a big wooden observation platform with people always watching and a bunch of development like restaurants and the NOC outpost.

Low level of commitment there.

Get into a deep Grade V gorge, and after leaving the eddy, you’re running that shit.

There are quite a few gorges here (west coast NZ) where the only practical scouting is from the heli on the way in.
Waitaha is a good example. Or regular drive ins like kakapotahi is basically running the entire river blind with someone who’s done it before.
In both cases, portage isn’t feasible.

I do understand what you’re talking about, but my mind goes straight to pic related plus a goon. (3L wine bladder. Per person of course.)
Have done some pretty good GoonTube trips - nothing technical, it’s really a deeper water activity.
Except perhaps https://vimeo.com/11410599.
Kinda better than Jordys swim.

We (mix of guides and pro expedition boaters) had to unwrap a university raft a few years ago.
Would have just left them to Learn A Lesson, but they had a 50L keg and 1/2oz on board, so we had to ensure it’s safety ha ha
We once got a client wrapped between rock n raft. That was less fun. Could probably find the maritime safety report on it if you like, it didn’t end well.
She was underwater for 48min.
