River Grades - Rafts vs Kayaks
"Geoff Jennings" typed:
[snip hypothesis]
I think we should rate rapids based on a combination of both the rapid, the
boat, and the paddler. For instance, there is a rapid, that shall remain
nameless due to embarrassment, that flips me every time. It's "easier" than
many other rapids I paddle, and I've done it a few dozen times, and yet, it
flips me. I think it should be at least a V.
This, Geoff, seems like an elementary problem in physics. Get one of
yer grad students on it.

OK, OK; computer programming for scientific research also matters.
