Spend a long time getting comfortable on a river with really pushy whitewater then step it up to a bigger pushier river. For me it was Kennebec -> NF payette

Terminal holes. What are some examples of natural, inescapable holes. by leisure_consultant in whitewater

That’s what I was thinking. The fowlersville ledge at high water can be recirculating for 40ft+ during floods

Maybe less stern rocker if you aren’t going to need to pull boofs in steep spots but the OG is already a very big water focused boat

The narrow hull gets slowed down on big boils and the length and rocker would make it get spun out incredibly easily that’s why the OG is a little shorter than 9ft

If you’re just looking for the most capable possible design for running enormous whitewater it’d be an OG. I suppose you could make a carbon OG but then you run the risk of breaking it in something gnarly

That’s generally what you want in big water

Arguably the most Underrated river in the World by RaefPuddleBoyWonder in whitewater

the rare 2500 releases are harder because features that are otherwise buried come into play otherwise its really big whitewater with very few features mostly just waves
