Oceana what line is best? riverotter2 New

portage river left. GCA_Steve New

the portage is easier/safer on the right. <NT> Leland New

Easier portage is river right. Less chance of sliding down the rock into the hole. Bradley New

doh

I've seen a guy start portaging on the left, slip and fall and end up in the hole with his boat <NT> DRRPM New

Internet? riekhof New

I swear the inexpensive quality video cameras do have a lot to do with it bankfull1 New

idea

Go Pro makes runs look easier in my opinion. riverotter2 New

th_up

and it's not just Go Pro. Pics and video tend to flatten out a run. It's hard to shoot good pics/video... Dale New

note

Videos definitely don't do justice to the rapids JackC New

smile

Real life doesn't always do 'em justice either. Note: Rapids seen from road may look much much bigger in the river. Dale New
