the tough get going

After going through some hydrology basics, and understanding how to use equipment you're ready to hit the water. Learn to respond to the different sections of a river—paddle forward, backward, faster or do nothing! The real fun starts when you begin to read the river and understand how to coordinate your efforts and movements. Mix it up with some safety drills and how to calmly deal with capsize situations.
