Surfing a hole with a raft ... not quite what the manufacturers had in mind I bet.

Does the steersman get a bonus when he or she bounces everyone out of the raft but themselves? They all seem to do a fist pump in the air "YES!" when they do that.

@dab005 .... actually the rafts surf both waves and hole very well and its what we specialise in at River Run .... why just run a river when you can PLAY it :-)

The fist pumping actually has a purpose - its to let the safety kayaker and other guides know how many people are in the water so they can pick them up. Thats not to say that the guides don't love to get everyone out but themselves ;-)

Fun times :-)

Epic video. I have never seen so many end over end flips. Especially the nice snag by the guide @1:23 too (reminds me of a time I got ejected from a rodeo frame and caught the frame as I went over). How long are those Sotar Classics? 16'?
