There's a big difference in being able to just run a rapid and run a rapid with style and skill. I've seen some people run a rapid only to get hammered or ran it off line and lucked out and think they've succeeded at running that rapid. This is an interesting article that some people might be interested in reading.

Great article, lots of excellent points and really well written. Nice to see a top-notch paddler using themselves as an example of what not to do rather than doing the old finger-wagging at other people thing.
It's all fun and games until someone loses a paddle.

Since this thread seems to be comprised or most (if not all) women, I think this article might be of interest as well:

(It's nice to see that some of those Class V girls are fearful at times, just like us!)

Style counts for sure, that's why Rob is the greatest!

That's a really good article you posted too Lisa (written by the wife of the guy who wrote the first one - two good authors. :)

Since I'm back on here I'll post the live hyperlink to the first article so it's easier for anyone reading this down the road.

Also a good read:

https://www.rapidmedia.com/rapid/categories/departments/5380-why-going-bigger-makes-our-world-smaller.html

Which maybe implies that kayakers should stop making fun of SUPers.
