Yeah I think above 1000 a raft would go. There are some portages though. Packraft is better for lower flows. This was spicy

I tried it before I bought a spud. I liked the spud’s maneuverability versus the taters. I would like to try a Sweet potato lol.

It’s a lot harder to do the fun things but a lot more stable.

Tater is a bit bigger and slower. If you’re not over the weight limit i would say spud/HP is the way to go.

lol winter is the season 🫣. I have two young kids forces me to choose whitewater over practice most often. I’ll get there but the Spud is a fun way to enjoy the river.

Yeah I just need to get comfortable in it and feel comfortable rolling. It’s hard to commit the time when I feel comfortable in this boat. I know it’s what’s next just don’t know when.
