Whi****er in a recreational kayak????
Class I, Class II, Class III, ....... Can you expect somebody, who is obviously without any clue and experience, to know what he is going to do and to judge the class of a river section on a given day? I agree with you. The original poster appears to be "obviously without any clue and experience." Thus he's not in a position to judge the difficulties and danger of whatever whitewater he chooses to paddle. As a result, he's potentially a danger to himself and anyone else on the river. Sure, the look of foaming roaring rapids is kind of discouraging and will make people reconsider their plans, but there are spots which look very easy/harmless and turn out to be the real killers. Which is why I suggest that even class II water is unsafe for someone who doesn't know what he's doing. Up to a certain point the boater's skills are the limit, then the material comes in. Absolutely. And if the boater's skills are limited, trouble may not be too far ahead. The kind of boat you paddle isn't going to help you, your skills and abilities are. The whole discussion is a bit gaga, and I wonder if somebody came up with an idea to stuff the summer hole in this group by throwing a stupid idea around It *is* a bit gaga. If the original poster hadn't responded to some of the replies, I would have guessed this was all one big troll. |
