Show Notes

It will be high water this season in California for the first time in quite a few years. Zach, Aaron, and Steve all spent time guiding in California on the Tuolumne and the South Fork of the American. They discuss different topics like: • Is training as a raft guide in high or low water better? • What kind of boats are the best to run in high water? • Where and how is it appropriate to flip a raft during training? • Methods for getting back onto your boat • The importance of the down-stream ferry for high water • "Belly Lines" under boats to help get onto an upside-down raft Zach shows off the new forum on Whitewater Guidebook. Go ahead and pop over there and get a conversation started. The Guys revisit their favorite rapid to discuss with a new video: • Bedrock Flip https://www.youtube.com/embed/fICpUqxuBTk Zach will be busy teaching Class IV Rowing Schools at Northwest Rafting Company this Friday. So this live show was recorded on Tuesday in place of the usual Q&A. Gear Garage is generally live on YouTube on Fridays at 2:00 PM Pacific Standard Time. Although now that it is rafting season, the schedule will be more sporadic. Gear Garage is for entertainment only.
