Chad is always bombing to get to camp first. Those IPA's are so good.

Thanks for sharing these! I rowed the main salmon this summer. It was my first time rowing a raft on a multi day trip and I feel your videos really helped me to prepare.

Sometimes you need to lay on the brakes if something happens in front of you. All other boats in the group should be paying attention and do the same if needed.

I commented on a video about needing help on pulling as being an inexperienced rafter. The advice I received was about ferrying. I am an experienced kayaker and my ferrying is pretty solid for a newbie. What I was asking about was turning the stern towards retentive holes and waves to power through them. Is this just a thing the experienced boaters in my group do? I don't want to surf those features by getting sideways, but I lose my line when my back is to the feature. Any tips?

Yes there are times you want to run things with your stern downstream. In this video I refer to that technique as a downstream ferry. I use different techniques based on the style of river I'm running and the particular boat I'm in. It's really hard to give you advice without knowing more details. My best advice is to practice the technique your friends are doing so you get better at doing it. If they're doing the technique and having success it's probably a good technique.

Sometimes I will row bow first but simply be pulling rather than pushing to acheive more boat speed going into large drops and holes. Then just spin back around facing forward for better visual just before dropping in. I agree with Zach that pulling from dangers or certain tough moves is a crtical skill. I beleive pulling acheives 2/3 power and pushing 1/3 power and in most circumstances think it's way better to take the time to switch your angel an pull off. Great discussion Zach. Bubba :)

Y'all are great. You've plenty to work on and a path to improvement.

One more thing. Precious time is spent/wasted changing ones mind between the pull and the push as we can see in the rowing run through the New Velvet. It was a good run. Might have been improved by having the plan to pull and slow down before entering.

Pushing= working with the power of the river. Pulling=fighting against it. Pulling= stronger. Pushing I feel more graceful. Pulling feels like desperation and is more exhausting. My two cents.

If you’re pulling between 45-90 degrees it’s not fighting the river. When you are slowing down relative to the current the ferrying does a lot of the work. Pushing and missing moves in inexcusable and something I see way too much.
