    When one enters the mature stages of WW boating...it's as much fun introducing new folks to the sport as a first descent !

    Respect to you and all other river kayak guides.. This group is solid, but it is really hard as a guide to keep novices (like me) together/safe. Especially if they have trouble catching smaller eddies and still swim once in a while.

    Wade what class are these Rapids? It's gorgeous but looks like an angry washing machine lol. I love yaking, but uh this is a firm no for me lol. Of course I've only done 1 and 2 class rapids lol.

    • @WadeHarrison
      @WadeHarrison  4 роки тому

      The Cheoah River has 2 sections upper and lower the rapids range from easy class 3 to difficult class 4 “possible” class 5 in one section? but my rating for the entire River I would say it’s a class 4 run

    You are a good paddler. When guiding people down … consider actually running the rapid instead of catching eddies and then telling them how to run it from the Eddy,.. quit showing off and just guide them down. You can play boat on your own time. Just my opinion. Good run.. good times.. luckily no one got hurt or stuck somewhere.

      Hahah Free 3 person guide service on multiple rivers looks like a case of get what you pay for…
      Thanks for the tips 😉
