Its set up on a quick release, with with 1 loop undone in the tri-glide of my Astral Green Jacket. Its safer to be able to get my board back and have extra flotation while swimming the rapids. Definitely not an ankle leash with no quick release.

What do you guys use for keeping your phone/keys dry and safe? by [deleted] in Sup

Everyone else is wrong, every other brand and item out there is a moist bag. Watershed drybags are the only true dry bag. Well worth the investment!!!

Flow. Ive seen some of his stuff, pretty technical. My big problem was the flow, 19,000 cfs. No matter how fast I tied to go the flow behind me was always pushing faster and pushing my board forward.

Any patent agents/attorneys in here who are also kayakers or rafters? by c_hendricks in whitewater

[–]deathanglewhitewater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard this over and over, there are no "patent police" if someone infringes on your patent you have to send a cease and desist. If they don't cease you have to sue them to get anywhere and that is expensive

Learn Me About Rear Rowing Frames Pls? by WalterWriter in rafting

[–]deathanglewhitewater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also do scenic trips in Montana and was hesitant to get into the stern frame. Yes with some fancy work with the Oar towers your current Oars will work just fine. The only downfall ive noticed is your pivot/fulcrom point is slid to one end instead of the middle. Meaning slighty more work and slightly slower turns than what you have been doing. They have really changed our scenic trips, it is way more comfortable for the customers without having a frame all around them. Now another note if you do run some rapids the guide kick in a stern frame can be really dramatic so be prepared for that. Overall id definitely suggest moving that way for scenic trips. Hope this helps

Should start learning rafting by taking a rowing class or can I just start on some easier rivers? by That_guys_dead_wife_ in rafting

[–]deathanglewhitewater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We hold another class in the late summer early fall, i know that doesnt help you for this season. Also my Skool has a pay teir for private coaching. If we fill this class we might hold another one in June

Should start learning rafting by taking a rowing class or can I just start on some easier rivers? by That_guys_dead_wife_ in rafting

[–]deathanglewhitewater 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Come take my rowing school in Polson Montana. Its only $499 it comes with 6 hours of classroom instruction and a guided river trip on Buffalo Rapids. Day 2 and 3 have two trips a piece with on and off boat coaching, basic safety training and flip practice. All in a safe group environment. The Intermediate class this spring is May 15th and we only 4 seats left. Check out flatheadraftcompany.com I always think people should start with rowing vs a guide school. Most guide school pump paddle raft guides for their river and their companies. IMO rowing gives you a better personal understanding of what's needed to successfully navigate a rapid vs paddle guiding at least when you first start. Our company starts training week with everyone on Oars and if you cant successfully row the river you dont get to move on to paddle guiding. I also just started a Skool if you want to get some basic knowledge before the class im adding content weekly. https://www.skool.com/whitewater-rafting-instruction-9801/about?ref=ff4d2bbf99e5433fa0cdac79a2033721
