Another Q-What happens when class V+ boaters get old

Forum: BoaterTalk

question

Do you ever think you will quit boating? drippinwet New

I have enjoyed progressing to harder and harder rivers. I am not so young already, and I wonder sometimes what is going to happen when I get too old to do class V.

Seems that right now I could never quit, but I also dont seem myself regressing to simpler runs.

Am I destine to get hurt when I get old?

Your only 34. That's no where close to where aging holds you back. Now the other things you mentioned are another story. <NT> TonyRobinson New
