Surfing has been under appreciated by oar boaters. Thanks for this. After guiding abroad, coming back to a more conservative boating community was an eye opener. My friends here were just too conservative and afraid to test their boundaries. Your channel definitely makes me feel good.
Awesome comment. It's funny - much of the community is super conservative and afraid to learn while there a some people without proper fear and/or knowledge who are pushing too hard. In my opinion, there is a nice middle line of continually improving by experimenting.
Thanks for another great video! One topic that I would love to see coverage on is a review of general situations/types of features that can actually dangerous. As a cautious class III boater, hoping to advance into class IV territory, I’m always wondering “what are the actual consequences of going overboard in such and such a hole, or recirculating hydraulic?” It’s hard for me to tell the difference between real and perceived danger as a newer boater. I would much appreciate input on this!
I have one comment that adds on to the whole keep your oars in your hands, In my experience the more you can keep your oars in the water the better, because with your oars in the water you have way more control.
Tube stands help to get out. Rowing forward to lift the stern or visa versa or low siding to get the boat up. Also body drags and body drags from a line in very sticky holes
I didn't know that I needed this video. Until I saw this video. Thanks again Zach!
Happy to help!

Thanks for this content. I really appreciate this follow up from Ep. 245! I like the combo of Lego boat-on-easel plus river clips.
Great way to show people how to build confidence. Practice in low/medium risk situations. Don’t be afraid to fail. Thanks again Zach.
Thanks!

Seeing if you can surf the whole is a really good strategy to see if you can punch through, I never thought of it that way thank you!
