These are clearly runs by an experienced guide with probably multiple Grand Canyon trips in their resume. I would also guess a guide with commercial experience somewhere. Why? No gloves, an awareness of where the oar is at all times (that is, taking shallow strokes in House Rock for example), knowing where the boat is in the rapid at all times, the entry to Hance, where he caught the Duck Pond like it was simple, because it is at these levels -- lots of reasons. The only very minor faults I saw was Dubendorff, where I would have been farther right, and Lava where I would have been farther left. But hey, minor quibbles. These runs were uniformly spot-on! Congratulations!
Hello, I watched a lot of ypur videos...wanting to do our own trip in 2025. Any information you can provide for a newbie to rafting? Have several trips / hours in a canoe with class 3s /4s (eastern) so not new to the river. Wanting to rent a raft and self guide. Thanks for all your amazing videos. Love watching you row!
Its the same as learning to ride a bike, Youll get the feel for it in no time. You might eat a $#!t sandwich occasionally but youll get the hang of it.
Great lines! The scariest hole was threading the Horns. Super job!
