@wafflefries17...but if you go too far right you hit the rock that sticks out :) Like I did the next boat..my passenger was launched out :)

I don't understand why the boat is loaded the way it is, gear in a stack on one side, or it looks like it is.

[jlarsonaz]

Look at about :45...looks pretty centered actually

[mamagrizz2]

@jlarsonaz Yes, after I watched a couple times I saw that it isn't really offset. I am anticipating a trip and just trying to think through these runs. Watching a video is WAY different from pushing and pulling on the water myself.

@mamagrizz2 It definitely looks like it is offset in the beginning though. I was filming...it was an amazing trip...you will love it!!

he is pulling really hard up stream before the rapid, he went in with out much momentum, a few more strokes downstream would have helped

@jlarsonaz Thanks for the reply. I am really psyched, even though I am not among the most experienced ones of the group. Steep learning curve, but I am strong and a good "student." And thank you for sharing the video.
