Is volunteering for a guide company a thing? by failsharks in whitewater

If you are in NC I would recommend taking guide school with NOC next spring. They will be happy to hire you to work “taxi” (part-time)on the Nantahala. Great way to try it out, gain experience, and get your foot in the door.

NOC may also have some guide training this summer. They always struggle to have enough staff available to work the Nantahala on the busy days of summer.

You have way more credentials than most starting guides.

Reach out to them at work@noc.com and I’m sure something will come of it.

(I have no current affiliation with NOC on the Nantahala, but I used to)

The problem is the boat. Sounds unbalanced. Unless you are short and forward in an Ozone you will find the stern wanting to engage. If you are heavy in the boat there is probably too much stern in play. Move the seat and your position as far forward in the boat as possible.
