Me and some friends have gotten into paddling whitewater with our packrafts. We debated doing this little dam, because of potential dangerous undercurrents that can swallow you and throw you around.
We are all beginners. We all did this one, and it was fun and felt safe, but was it?
Or is it all the same I have some 25 year old boats that are still doing just great.. my latest was a antix2 and it felt like it was made of cheese any of the currents better than others jackson waka pyranha dagger etc
If you want your public lands managed for clean water and wildlife, you still have time to comment on the republican attack on roadless areas. The current president is trying to roll back protections that have been in place for decades. Roadless forests have fewer weeds, fewer fires, and cleaner water.

Hi everyone,
I’m a beginner and recently bought my first used kayak—a Wavesport Diesel. I'm currently setting up the cockpit and making sure everything is safe and properly installed before taking it out.
I've attached a couple of photos of the removed bulkhead (footrest) plate. As you can see, it looks pretty bare. Also, I have already flipped the plate around because when I bought the boat, the bolts/screws were pointing directly backwards towards the seat (and my feet). However, I'm still not entirely sure if this is the correct orientation.
Since I bought the boat second-hand, I'm unsure if the plate is now oriented correctly or if any original foam padding / parts are missing.
As a beginner, I’d really appreciate seeing what a proper setup is supposed to look like. Could any Wavesport Diesel owner share a quick photo showing how your bulkhead looks inside the cockpit?
Any photos or advice on the correct factory setup would be an awesome help. Thanks in advance!
Called the office and the young lady didn’t explain it well enough for me so hoping some on here will. Comparing Upper Gauley Express to Normal Upper Gauley trip. She said both put ins are the same. Express stops after lunch after doing about 30-40 rapids comparing to 60. I’ve done the Upper Gauley with other companies. Looking for clarification on take out is for Upper Gauley express trip take out is. Do you miss any crazy rapids?
