I did not take that to mean that *all* whitewater is extreme.

I think that you're really stretching it to make such a claim. There's
nothing in the quoted text that limits the applicability of "extreme."

Regardless, I don't think the Turners know any other kind.

I guess they've never seen a calm river then?

I thought their post was over the top, and up to now have refrained
from getting too involved, but I've got to say that supporting their
hype is a bit much. I think Brian and Wilko are closer to the
truth than the supporters of this hyperbole have been.
