Series Summary

Back in the days of sensible river travel, when rapids came into view, travelers would row ashore and walk their raft until they reached calmer water. But Huckleberry Finn didn't have the high-tech life jackets and padded helmets that we use today. If such was the case, he might not have experienced the on-shore adventures so essential to his story. He would have been too busy having fun in the rough waters to bother with the Grangerfords and the Duke. Indeed, if whitewater rafting today seems like an amusement park ride, it can be very dangerous if the proper precautions are not taken. Watch this series of rafting videos to ensure you know the safe way to hit the rapids.

Our expert will discuss raft designs and how they affect your whitewater experience. Learn what type of paddles are best for your rafting trip as well as what gear is essential for a safe trip. Our expert even tells you how to transport and store your raft for a totally successful rafting trip.
