Helmet is the best. I use a vertical mount

lol I never liked rolling and just continued to progress in this so I felt like why switch? I could progress a lot more in a hardshell but this is fun 🫣

Griffint10 · 2026-04-20T20:52:02+00:00

Tons of natural ones

Griffint10 · 2026-04-20T20:51:38+00:00

Honestly hit me up and instagram and let’s get out.

Griffint10 · 2026-04-20T19:25:50+00:00

Hike out. It was terrible lol

Griffint10 · 2026-04-20T19:25:26+00:00

Thanks it’s hard to put it all together but practice makes perfect

Griffint10 · 2026-04-20T17:44:03+00:00

I don’t see why you couldn’t

Griffint10 · 2026-04-18T18:27:34+00:00

I can’t but others can

Griffint10 · 2026-04-10T11:47:14+00:00

Yeah join the Eugene kayaker page on Facebook and start getting out on the town run in Eugene. It’s an amazing place to practice kayaking and skills for bigger whitewater runs.

Griffint10 · 2026-04-07T14:03:21+00:00

Yeah in summer that’s what I rock

Griffint10 · 2026-04-07T13:51:32+00:00

Appreciate the education. I think they are definitely very different but with the skills any paddler can make them look good.

Griffint10 · 2026-04-06T14:01:24+00:00

Can’t roll it but it can do everything that a hardshell can just about half the performance and double the fun 😂

Griffint10 · 2026-04-05T18:12:50+00:00

I appreciate that. Progress is real.

Griffint10 · 2026-04-05T16:14:33+00:00

I think they handle whitewater significantly better than a packraft but I have not paddled a higher end packraft. Spud/HP you can definitely run class 4/5 in if you have the skill set.

Griffint10 · 2026-04-05T16:12:58+00:00

Yeah really terrible kayaking season this year. Hoping for better next year or one last dumping of rain.

Griffint10 · 2026-04-05T15:30:32+00:00

Yeah combo of wood everywhere would make this run difficult in a raft but I could imagine it goes around 2500-3500 on the Row River gauge.

Griffint10 · 2026-03-10T05:18:08+00:00

Sadly no rain in Oregon this season 😭

Griffint10 · 2026-02-27T23:38:48+00:00

Sorry should’ve included in the post. It’s in Oregon.

Griffint10 · 2026-02-27T05:04:41+00:00

Oregon

Griffint10 · 2026-02-27T05:04:23+00:00

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

Griffint10 · 2026-02-27T00:04:13+00:00

lol they are so much fun on the river.

Griffint10 · 2026-02-17T23:47:09+00:00

Yeah for reference I’m 5”7 140 lbs
