2010 Extreme Jet Boating

Extreme Whitewater jet boating on the South Fork of the Payette River in Idaho. Watch as these powerful super charged jet boats work there way up this encreditable river. This run can only be done in high water due to the large number of boulders waiting below the water's surface.

it does look like fun, and I'd have to try it before I know for sure, but there's something about being in a man powered raft that, to me, is unbeatable... the rafter is closer to the elements, maybe that's it. The two activities are philosophically different, however, one is more about surviving the river (rafting), and the other is more about "conquering" ("conquering" the river)--a jet boat is more in this second category, I would think. Anyways, thanks for letting me vamp a bit.

@pleasantdaydreamer Most Jet boaters are outdoorsmen and do it all. I can honestly say they are both a kick. You are right in a raft you survive, in a jet boat its tech. and is about running it without damaging the boat or getting rejected.

@pleasantdaydreamer.....Leave your wife and kids at home for this one, dangerous!!!

would be a bad one if the boat stalled for some reason. wonder where you would end up before you could stop in high water? def an adrenaline buzz, I'm sure. sweet vid

@pleasantdaydreamer Drive the boat up the river with the raft in it and take the raft down the river. :-)
